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

    Same here. I don’t really like Appimages because (AFAIK, unless there’s some tool I don’t know about) you have to just check each one individually for updates which feels old fashioned, like Windows.

    Snap is just a worse version of Flatpak as far as I can tell, so I don’t bother with it.

      @CrabAndBroom @throwawayish I like flatpacks and their integration into some stores and the ease of update makes me not hate them. Unfortunately, this is where Linux is headed. Containerization and immutability.

      Luckily, we will always have lots of distros to choose from.
