Angry turk’s opinion https://image.nostr.build/a25394920fa9fbf08515ea2f4897584e3a7e0238516fdaa883c817e95b439298.jpg

Flatpak and Flathub have solved the app distribution issue on most distros. People can fight it or come up with something better which I doubt is happening in the near future... maybe Kaiming if Chinese companies invest in it.

Install from source, apt, sometimes snap

Snappy (snap packages), yes it is canonical yes the store is not really open but technically the best solution (from point of security). And it ships possibly to all important Linux Distros.

I just use nixpkgs, all the packages are hash-verified. Cool

I typically go with whatever the app maker recommends. RPM is common. Flatpaks are common. AppImage is less common. Sometimes you get a tarball but that is way less common than it used to be. Flathub (as a flatpak source) has gotten a lot better, but I like to make sure a Dev is the one who actually...

More people should set up repos and get added to extrepo instead of publishing a .deb and expecting us to dpkg -i

I learned reprepro and had my own repo (apt get) for a few years. Woowee was upgrading things annoying. Until I got into automation with bash! I mostly build from source, or sometime grab binaries from git if they build for my architecture.
