    God I hope not. Especially not snap, it’s so painful and slow. AppImage works fine enough I guess. I don’t want an ecosystem where more and more developers go with these only and neglect being able to install at a system level.

      That is unfortunately the future because maintaining packages for a million different distros is painful to say the least. The best you can hope for is native packages for the top 10 distros. Everyone else will have to deal with flatpak.
