From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your only option is universal formats like Flatpak and AppImage. I would recommend against random deb packages or compiling from source unless it's some very tiny obscure utility that will not need any updates in the foreseeable future (so something like j4-dmenu-desktop or a fetch script).
