While I'm highly sympathetic to all sides of this issue, I will note that WINE isn't screen-reader-accessible in the way Orca + current CHIRP is. As of now, CHIRP is the only way I have of accessibly programming some radios under Linux.
I wish I had the time and energy to volunteer to help CHIRP and about a dozen other causes. But I do hope we can figure out a way to stop kicking this Python migration can down the road. In the meantime, we should probably actively encourage use of Flatpak/AppImages over, well, just about everything else. One single semi-official flatpak repo is going to be a whole lot less trouble than a variety of haphazardly-maintained PPAs, COPRs, Debian repos, AUR repos (unless the Arch folks just install it manually anyway... :)

To do that, most will have to go purchase a copy of Windows. That's $150 down the drain.

Right now the only easy way to run CHIRP on Ubuntu 20.04 is installing WINE and then using the Windows version of CHIRP.
