@ruffsl

As much as I enjoy ease of use via package management, I prefer AppImage.

Although I have more flatpaks, the apps I do have under appimage tend to crash less often compared to flatpaks.

If an app is available as a native package, 10 times out of 10 will go for the native package

I however, would prefer a system without flatpak & snap. :tux:
