    I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.

    Unpopular opinion: snap is not so bad and genuinely useful for many things

    I would rather have a snap than building from source or use some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

      some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

      I just can’t… like I’m old and that’s wh I still can’t wrap my head around how we went full circle from “./configure && make & make install scripts are almost the de facto way to install software in linux” to “a sketchy install script”. We’re living interesting times at Linux
