Things like Flatpak or Snap try to solve this problems. Do you think they don't succeed?

Try but since its more of them that devs have to support (Flatpak, Snap, AppImage...), problem is still the same.

Has Linus any opinion on flatpak, snap or appimage?

Linus Torvalds uses AppImage for his diving app subsurface. He is on the record saying he endorses it, and you can find a quote by him on the AppImage website. I don’t think he would have anything good to say about snap. I don’t think he has said anything about flatpak

In my personal opinion it's not very advisable to run binaries "from somewhere". Some views regarding flatpak: https://www.flatkill.org/2020
