I freaking hate snaps, flatpaks, appimages and what not
Can we please go back already? It’s such a freaking mess I don’t even know where to begin.
Duck that shyt. From the bottom of my heart.
gandalf_der_12te, No please, otherwise these often poorly-packaged “packages” clutter the namespace of the actual package managers.
Keep the shit out of the traditional systems.
ichmagrum, German Canonical: What if we made these the basis of our distribution?
d_k_bo, Back to the days of conflicting dependency versions?
Back to the days of manually compiling every program you want to use?
Back to the days of manually unpacking a .deb because the developer didn’t offer a package for your distribution?
Back to the days where every program can read your ~/.ssh, write to your ~/.bashrc?
…
OddFed, 
No back to the days where I could fucking install inkscape and it worked.
mateomaui, You can still do that from the repos, such as
sudo apt install inkscape
What’s the difficulty?
x2XS2L0U, On a ubuntu based distro i recently had the issue that the offered version of inkscape was very old. Some website said to get a current version you should try a flatpack or snap or so. 3 senior hackers were unable to get them to work at all. I imagine OP has had similar problems.
I use arch btw.
mateomaui, Oh, that’s right. I forgot that was the issue with some distros.
ichmagrum, German skill issue
superweeniehutjrs, And things that don’t need to be in docker shouldn’t have docker-first documentation…
