There's no way you get past the notability / external sources gatekeeper.

This content is suitable for a wiki but not Wikipedia

(And screw Fandom).

There are many pages comparing (free/open-source) software on Wikipedia, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_comparisons

The individual entries don't always seem to be super notable. But the notability threshold is also somewhat topic dependent. In my experience in software, it's not as strict as biographies or politically charged issues. In hacker/nerd topics things seem to operate a bit more loosely.
