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 I bet you get plenty of "feedback" about which is best too 😃.

@davidfield Of course 😂 Even though the conclusion is « there is no best option yet », people will still have their favorites!

@thelinuxEXP agreed, they are interesting times, but hey, what do I know, I only recently found manjaro which seems to embrace all of these package solutions

Keep up the good work
