Appimages, snaps and flatpaks, which one do you prefer and why?

    Snaps. Everyone seems to hate them for ideological reasons rather than practical reasons. But for me, they just work. And if Canonical gets out of line, there’s already been proof of concepts of third-party snap repositories, so that’s a moot point.

    Flatpaks seem like a solution in search of a problem to me. Not everything is a gui app, so not sure why the devs aren’t supporting cli apps well. But the biggest problem is that most software I use simply isn’t available as flatpaks.

      Cli apps not being available as flatpaks is a huge oversight. It makes using flatpaks as my main source of applications a non starter.
