I once asked on LQ why on earth we somehow still can’t just settle on one fucking packaging format.
That was literally the point of AppImage and then Canonical/Red Hat decided they needed to do Snaps and Flatpak. It makes no fucking sense to have all 3 of these things when the whole point was that there would be ONE fucking format that could be run on any distro. That was the whole point.
Couldn’t even do that right. FFS
Well great news, the world has mostly settled on Flatpak now.
They all have advantages and disadvantages in certain conditions. While others are around for two decades already and got a new wrapper around the existing one all 10 years or so.
Who benefits of the disagreement? Did they contribute?
