  I have found this to be well written. If you still haven't read anything about Appimages, Snaps and Flatpaks, it could shed a reasonably nice beam of light on their respective drawbacks. https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future

  The other thing that concerns me about these systems is when some library ( #log4j for example ) has a security vulnerability. If your software is locked up inside of these containers, that means each one will need to publish an update and get you to download it when it could all be updated at once with your system updater.
