Because it's nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS
Why can’t they do that already? Just choose whichever one you want it’s trivial for me to run whichever as a user
Recently I wanted to uninstall $thing. Couldn’t via the package manager. I had forgotten that it wasn’t a native package. So what was it? *scratches head* Flatpak, snap or Appimage? Aw damn, it’s an AppImage. Now where did I put the binary? *scratches head*.
Uhh…should probably get yourself in order because that sounds like a you problem to be completely honest
