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?
You must log in or register to comment.
- ruins single source of truth over installed state
- thus kills validation and thus consistency and thus repeatability (the holy trifecta of release management)
- promotes dependency hell
- promotes redundant installs
- ‘hides’ installs from enterprise management (eg snmp)
- you will fail the audit
But other than being redundant and risky, totally cool.
