I admit I've not checked and have just assumed the package list is both ideologically- and mindshare-crippled, due to the GNU on the name and the seemingly low rate of use, respectively. Nb I think free software goals are great and all but if I need Slack for work or need my proprietary wifi card to work using a binary blob then I f#cking need those things, and it's nice if my package manager can install them for me. It's also nice if it's got enough eyes on it that I essentially never run into a broken package, even when installing kinda-obscure things.
