apt package for Linux install

[aiqc]

Would it be possible to apt install conda?

I've installed conda on Linux a few times in the past year:

• This page https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/linux.html ...
• Takes you to this landingpage https://www.anaconda.com/download/ just to click a button?
• You click download: (a) it starts a download... what is it downloading? what version? I don't know, (b) it brings you to this page https://www.anaconda.com/download-success.
• No instructions about what to do w that 1.2GB .sh file. users have to remember to go back to the first page for the rest of the instructions https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/linux.html

If there was a frictionless apt package, my takeaway would be "wow, these guys are great at encapsulating software. they get it. maybe i should be using conda cloud."

However, the takeaway I get right now is, "all these hoops just to push marketing? the business people behind conda cloud seem sketch. this is guaranteed to enrage the linux persona"

Flatpak seems here to stay. Devtools and mainstream apps alike have adopted it: VS code, pycharm, sublime text, podman, slack, chrome, spotify, vlc, zoom, firefox, postman, discord, etc.

Docker just put flatpak on their Q1 roadmap:
docker/roadmap#593

The anaconda navigator app could be installed this way
