Every time I talk about #Flatpak, #Snap, or any packaging format, I get comments asking what the differences are, which one is the best, why you should use one over the other...
So I decided to revisit a previous video I made 3 years ago, and give a more up to date explanation on the various packaging formats on #Linux: the good old DEBs and RPMs, Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages, and the AUR.
Should be better than my old video, if only on the image quality / script side :D
@thelinuxEXP If I run `apt install XYZ`, I expect APT/DPKG to handle the installation, NOT "We're redirecting your request to snap"....
If I wanted to install the snap version of something, I'd have requested the snap version.
All I'm saying.
@thelinuxEXP For me (could be just due to the alpha release), images don't work and the first launch of 'play' category listed what appeared to be a bunch of broken entries and I couldn't for the life of me find how to search for anything, (ie: steam).
After taking a second look, it appears that clicking on a category can just be slow and their choice of "please wait, loading" conveys more of a "something broke" feeling than "please wait" and Search is just hiding in that silly app bar.
