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

Linux Packaging Formats explained: Flatpak vs Snaps vs DEB & RPM vs AppImage vs AUR

@thelinuxEXP I just use whatever package managers/formats I want to use or that I think are useful to my daily use of my laptop

For example, I have Ubuntu  on my PC and I use a combination of #Snaps, #Flatpaks, #AppImages, #Debian packages, and even applications that were extracted from tar files! 📦
