It's a problem for my potential users. I don't get this "it's not your job to distribute your own software".

Parent post already told you a way to distribute your software to Linux users; assuming your tarballs with prebuilt binaries "just work", as in, it's enough to untar it wherever (/opt?) and create a symlink in $PATH for your executable.

But from your comments, the message I get is that you want to apply to become a maintainer in each and every Linux distribution's package repositories, both mainstream and niche? And apparently also create packages for some alternative package managers too? (e.g. mise, npm, Terra)

Yes. But I would bet, people who use a cli editor would not mind manually updating their package.

I use fedora on my work machine. It is a pain. But hey, freedom of choice has its drawbacks too.
