<summary>Explain "Software Distribution"</summary><br><b>
Read [this](https://venam.nixers.net/blog/unix/2020/03/29/distro-pkgs.html) fantastic article on the topic.
From the article: "Thus, software distribution is about the mechanism and the community that takes the burden and decisions to build an assemblage of coherent software that can be shipped."

<summary>Why are there multiple software distributions? What differences can they have?</summary><br><b>
