I can say with great certainty that the only package format that we don't need is Snap. AppImages and Flatpaks both have their place, but Snap is just a great way to find yourself wasting time because their shitty fucking sandbox system doesn't work properly (and also doesn't sandbox at all if you're not running AppArmor 🤡).
