And the same thing is true for Flatpak...but are we really looking forward to another 20 years of multiple packaging formats for Linux ?

The push towards static packaging is a great time to unify. The problem is that snap is based on deb..not sure about Flatpak. So we again have a political split.

I really think this is the opportunity to unify Linux packaging - anything, I don't care..but let us please have one package format.

Snaps are descendant from deb, but they are now just squashfs images with some metadata
