    No problem with Flathub, but FFS I wish so many projects would stop having all their releases and flatpaks or those damn snaps.

    If you’re going to do just one format why not AppImage? It is portable, easy to use, multiple ways to sandbox it, and newer versions have the option to create their own home directory so the files created stay with the AppImage for use on portable drives or between users on a shared partition.

      I’ve got nothing against AppImages, but strong disagree there. Flatpaks (and also snaps, I guess) are easy to search for and easy to upgrade. Just add the repo and you’re done.

      In AppImages there is no built-in repository management or update machanism(?). At least I remember having to use some third-party tool to do all this, like “Gear” or whatever it’s name is, but they all felt very janky.

          I’ve run them with everything from AntiX to Nobara to Arch to Gentoo to…

          I do like the granular Android-like controls for flatpaks, using flatseal or something similar is almost idiot proof, so I’m not upset there are flatpaks… Only when there are just flatpaks.
