Pushing to another machine? Yes. By strict definition. Steam exists to sell pre-compiled proprietary programs for dollars.

Rebuilding? No. Linux package management is so-so at allowing you to compile programs. But they’re dogshit garbage at helping you reliably run that program. Docker exists because Linux can’t run software.
