Tellico flatpak testing

[Dennis Knorr]

Hey,
wanted to shed some light from my perspective.

Snap and flatpak ain't the same thing. And flatpak is from some
standpoint a little bit better than appimage, because appimage
duplicates shared libraries between kde applications.

i have nothing against flatpak or appimage, and i personally do not
"like" snap because there's no other public provider than canonical for
snaps and because it clogs my mount list, but snap and flatpak are a
little bit more economically efficient than appimage, on the other side,
only appimages are truly standalone binaries.

flatpak on flathub has also more applications than appimage hub i think,
so the camps are divided on that.

also, if you have a working debian package on certain base images of
ubuntu or debian, there are ways to bundle that up to flatpak or
appimage, so you could benefit from that.


but yay for flatpak as additional thing! :)
