When it comes to #Linux and packages for the user, #Flatpak for when you need shared dependencies and #AppImage for when you need a portable app. Basically we've already solved both the "app store" and "downloadable executable" problems.
Snaps could compete, if it supported third party repos OOB and wasn't a vendor lock-in situation, but if and buts were candies and nuts...
Flatpaks, Snaps, & AppImages: "Do we really need these Universal App For...

It's clear to me that #flathub is the go-to vendor for Flatpak package distribution and as such, it sort of becomes a vendor lock-in situation... but #Flatpak supports third party repos OOB and #snap doesn't.
Flathub has also been held to the fire and it lead to a change in policy, thanks to the likes of @BrodieOnLinux shining a light on certain issues, like flathub enforcing #gnome like requirements and spiting #QT apps, which has since been changed to be more inclusive.
@hopland @BrodieOnLinux that was never the case, you have been lied to, if you believed that - in fact KDE devs were in it from the start - they just need longer to get stuff updated
@razze @hopland I never said Flathub was enforcing GNOME requirements, what I believe he's mistaking it with is the Flathub app guidelines leaned very heavily towards GNOME design inspirations and GNOME naming conventions which I believe it was stated in the docs that's it's partially based on the GNOME HIG or that may have been a follow up blog post.
@razze @hopland I don't think I've ever mentioned Flathub having an issue with QT apps, that's probably coming from Flathub very heavily promoting libadwaita apps which makes sense as they're more likely to follow guidelines inspired by GNOMEs guidelines which they were likely already trying to follow.
@BrodieOnLinux yeah, i was probably misrepresenting the issue.
I seem to remember that certain Qt app developers didn't publish to Flathub, simply because they didn't meet with the guidelines. Again, that could also be wrong.
Calling it a lie... is a bit extreme. But hey, my feed is apparently a place to through around words.
@hopland There are certainly developers who have chosen to not publish on Flathub due to the app guidelines, they're not strict requirements but they are requirements for being promoted rather than just being in the app listing.
@BrodieOnLinux @hopland to be clear, I did not assume, that you we're the "lying party"
