I agree. So what about making a GUI frontend as Digital Distribution Platform ("DDP") that has bindings to the available package managers?
Meaning having a list of games in GUI like (https://gitlab.com/librebob/athenaeum) to address the issue with discoverability and then using the available packaging solution to manage the game?
e.g. Installing SuperTuxKart from GUI for the software to detect the OS and do: a) User on Trisquel -> If supertuxkart is packaged then `apt-get install supertuxkart --yes` b) User on ArchLinux -> if supertuxkart is packaged then `pacman -Suy supertuxkart`
etc..Might also be a good idea to use this frontend to organize the Game Jam and enable community to do their own if needed as currently the only way to do that efficiently is itch.io which has freedom issues.
Proof-of-concept: GameHub <https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub> which is a GUI frontend to various DDPs that handles the installation through the provided solution.
.. would think it to be a good idea to fork GameHub to provide the decentralized game list and the binding.
