Hi,

for a while now 'geteduroam' has been set as a successor for eduroam
CAT on Android. While it had a rough start with Google API shenanigans
it now finaly works as it should be - if you are at least on Android 12
and use version 1.1.0 (older versions are still kinda broken)

But geteduroam also exists for Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS ( and linux
seems to be in active development and looks quite nice:
https://github.com/geteduroam/linux-app )

As I found out, you are also developing a new Linux script to replace
the 'old' Python script. 

With this I just am courious - why are there two sets of Apps/Scripts
devloped for the same purpose - to install eduroam wifi profiles from
the CAT-Database?

I know that on Windows we would loose the option for GEANTLink maybe
and mass deployment could be a bit tricky to implement - but the other
OSes? 

Especially as the CAT installers are built specifically for each
organisation I think that creates a lot of overhead in contrast to the
singele build of geteduroam?

Greetings, Lukas
