Does Linux have portable versions of programs, that don't require a package manager? Portable in the sense that it carries all its own requirements in one zip file, and can be copied to, and run within most any Linux distribution.
Excuse my crude understanding of computer science, but in using portable applications, as opposed to having shared libraries, you may end up consuming more memory because duplicate versions of libraries will load into RAM. Did I say that right?
