What if...What if snapd is actually what I'm looking for cross-distribution portable Linux software. AppImage sucks at the very core, FatPak is too fat and complicated.

Even when I did run Ubuntu, "apt purge snapd" was always the first thing I did.I don't care how much AppImage sucks, if it's not a .deb or a source tarball I already know it's going to suck. Flatpak seems to be winning in theory, but I haven't yet felt the need to try it.

@zudlig I tried packaging and I hated it.Making it easier to build software made it more accessible to users than wasting time on probably worst packaging tools by Debian.

@zudlig @a1batross IMO snapd still has ways to go. I still get weird things like my cursor randomly changing when I hover over a snap application (alongside other theming woes) and launching them is very slow.

Is AppImage THAT bad?

@shuro yes.Basically, the idea is to "bring every dependency in one image" but it's not technically possible.

I am not a developer but it seems to work for smaller apps.Maybe I just like portability :)

@shuro yes, it will work for some kind of CLI apps but for big apps you're doomed. Flatpak tries to solve this probably by providing some kind foundation but on other hand it has questionable sandbox and permission stuff. I never tried snap yet.

@a1batross just ship static binaries. It's the best option.

@mizuki that's not possible, modularity is a core concept. Also, you can't statically compile stuff like libGL.In my dreams I'm actually thinking about something what Android NDK does.

@a1batross things like dlopen exist and that's good enough for me. Everything else can be static.

@mizuki well yes, that's my current approach.
