       The state of #Linux packaging seems to be a perpetual mess.  There is no standard packaging format among distros (something that I don't think will be resolved any time soon) and I've always viewed third party packaging tools like #snap and #flatpak with skepticism, mainly from a #security perspective.After reading this, I'd rather deal with the perpetual mess of different package managers than the unraveling security headache that is Flatpak.https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/when-flatpaks-sandbox-cracks-real-life-security-issues-beyond-ideal#tech #technews
