Fortunately, things like snap and flatpak are still fringe projects with no realistic perspectives for a widespread adoption. Which would be ridiculous, anyway: why would you want all the programs in /usr/bin to be isolated "apps"?



I run most of my GUI stuff out of flatpaks now, it's pretty great. Run the latest releases on a stable LTS with no dependency problems.
