    I wonder if they’ll one day just alias a bunch of stuff, kinda like what Ubuntu has done with forcing Snap down people’s throats. So, like:

    • sudo dnf install bottles actually doing flatpak install bottles
    • OR, e.g., sudo dnf install tldr actually doing brew install tldr
    • etc…

    I don’t think it’s necessarily bad as long as it’s very transparent on what it actually does (and why). And…, offers choice where applicable*.

    Or…, like, introduce a new package manager that basically functions as a front-end. Would that ((and/)or the earlier alias-thing) be worse than sticking to the development of a single package manager until it does all (à la Snap)?
