    Because it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS

      Why can’t they do that already? Just choose whichever one you want it’s trivial for me to run whichever as a user

        Recently I wanted to uninstall $thing. Couldn’t via the package manager. I had forgotten that it wasn’t a native package. So what was it? *scratches head* Flatpak, snap or Appimage? Aw damn, it’s an AppImage. Now where did I put the binary? *scratches head*.

            I think it’s really funny that it’s a flatpak used to manage AppImages

            How is that my problem

            Well let’s break it down…

            You thought:

            Yeah, it’s called .deb

            Was an acceptable response to:

            Because it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS


            Your problem was your stupidity.

            But now your problem is everyone knowing about it.

                I think you’re the one lacking a sense of humor if you thought your comment was funny instead of making you look like an ass.

                    I can read your comment as both a joke or an incredibly egotistical statement. In this day and age it’s hard to tell the difference. While it can be very on the nose, a /s is often necessary.

      It’s not that big of a deal to package in both flatpak and appimage.
