Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

Meanwhile almost everything I ever wanted is either in main Gentoo repo or in there is overlay with it.
Honestly, main + guru has not made feel like anything's missing at all.
Main + kdab + steam
I am inclined to write "Main +" and then just some random words, to see if you guys could tell they're not repos. 🙃
Guru is Project:GURU, kdab is KDAB overlay for hotspot profiler and steam is steam-overlay
Sure, but through your link, I found the list of projects. In hopes that a project always has a repo associated, here comes the quiz: Can you guess which 2 of these projects I made up? 🙃
Main + Artwork + Astronomy + Biology + Chemistry + Electronics + Geosciences + Mathematics + Physics + Psychology + Science + Retirement + Emacs + GNU Emacs + Spacemacs + XEmacs
I did expect there to be lots of random words, but man, I seriously had to think for a moment to find a field of science that isn't covered...
And you choose phsycology... Medicine would be less obvious.
For my second guess I was choosing between retirement and spacemacs. As it turns out, Project:Retirement is a thing.
Also Project:Main doesn't exist. So you made up 3 projects.
That list I and person I replied to posted was list of overlays.
Welp. I didn't want to make it too difficult either, especially with how funky some of the real projects are. Would be cool, though, if more psychology software existed. Surely, there's a lot you could do with video games / simulations.
