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

That’s why I whenever I download an appimage that I intend to use somewhat regurarly, I typically make a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications so it shows up in my app menu or rofi or dmenu or whatever and I don’t have to go looking for it. It also helps to have a folder you toss them all into
