It's a platform intended to virtualize, containerize, and orchestrate entire OSes, sets of interconnected services, development stacks, and so on and so forth. It does not really fit into this "discussion" (nor would Podman or Buildah).
2. Flatpak and Snap work just great, though they are — at the end of the day — package managers, resting atop of Linux distributions which already posses perfectly functional package managers of their own. This renders them very gay, and a nigger, respectively.
3. AppImage is obviously superior to both of the aforementioned technologies, especially from a user perspective — which should be the default perspective for a developer producing software meant to be used by other people — but it is what it is. Like me, many other people opt for AppImage when presented with situations that require software which is unavailable via repositories for the particular distribution I am using.
>>105750212You probably meant to say something like this:
>It's impossible to port Windows software over to Linux without expenditures of money and time that exceed the stated limits of my overlords.Though there is always a good chance that you meant something more like this:
>It's impossible to port Windows software over to Linux without doing a considerable amount of reading and work, instead of gooning around, playing video games, and eating candy.Either way, FTFY.
