On Linux I don't really care who "wins" or loses" as we just have options.

The only 2 things I personally care about is which of the options have the most consistent and trustworthy developer, and which one is licensed or closest to being licensed under AGPL-3.0.

"Which xyz is better?" is the last of my concerns as my disgust for "proprietary", AI-product/service, and NVIDIA knows no bounds.

All that being said;
I'm glad people love Flatpaks, app images still exist, and that people dump snaps like it's the plague.
