Why Flatpak Won and Snap and AppImage Didn't. - Cameron Knauff - programming.dev

Lemmy

I like both flatpaks and appimages why does everything have to be a victory and defeat
Because it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS
Why can’t they do that already? Just choose whichever one you want it’s trivial for me to run whichever as a user

Just not snaps.

AppImage and flatpak are fine though

Whats wrong with snaps? My only “issue” with appimages is i tend to leave them in my downloads folder and lose them
@chocrates @curbstickle just for the fun if it try to open your own full snap store server...
[Spoiler : you can't because it's a Canonical private garden. The best you can do is hacky unless you decide to write one from the blue. So it's just accepting to loose autonomy exactly like with proprietary software... but in open source world.] 😵‍💫
