Appimage for me ticks all the boxes for cross distro package as its very portable, simple to run, what are devs trying to do when creating snaps and flatpack?

Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.

Just download .exes for windows and run them with WINE. Don’t have a single snap or flatpack application. If it doesn’t run then u didn’t need it in the first place 👉😎👉

Edit: someone DMed me and took this comment seriously. Bless ur heart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
