Thankfully RHEL/Centos/Fedora also get attention thanks to the large corporate influence.
Anything else can just be compiled from scratch, after spending 6 hours trying to figure out what ajfiwn-0-libs-dev is in redhat land, only to find out it was libfiwn-devel all along.
pkgs.org with
pkgconifg(package-name)

dnf install "pkgconfig(libfoo-1)"
ordnf install /usr/include/fooheader.h
