AppImage, Flatpak und Snap im Vergleich
Zur Installation von #Software stehen unter Linux seit jeher verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung. So gibt es beispielsiwese immer die Möglichkeit der manuellen Übersetzung mithilfe des altbekannten Dreisatzes (configure, make, make install) - inklusive allen Vor- und Nachteilen. Am komfortabelsten ist es jedoch, den jeweiligen Paket-Manager der Distribution zu verweden. So sparen sich User das lästige Übersetzen von Quellcode - doch auch hier gibt es zahlreiche Vertreter. Neben den üblichen Red Hat- (yum, dnf) und Debian-artigen (apt, apt-get) Paket-Managern gibt es noch zahlreiche weitere Tools - und genau hier liegt das Problem.
Mit #AppImage, #Flatpak und #Snap gibt es drei weitere Entwicklungen, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht haben, Software-Verwaltung unter #Linux zu revolutionieren - doch wie gut gelingt das?

Da gerade #Flatpak am #diday so toll befunden wird.
Es wird der Tag kommen, da denkt der #User er installiert "LieblingsProgramm" und in Wirklichkeit installiert er ein #Schadprogramm mit was aus der #Sandbox ausbricht um irgendwas fremdes zu installieren.
Das kann SchürfSoftware sein oder um #BankDaten zu klauen.
Und das alles an der Distro Sicherheit vorbei.
Dann wird auf #Linux gehackt und die GlobalPlayer werden das ausnutzen.

Monkeying with computers since 1984, Linux user since 1994. Free/Libre Open Source Software, data sovereignty & privacy advocate. I've seen some things; is there such a thing as computer related PTSD? Transitioning to "just a user". Linux distros I'm "into" lately: * Alpine Linux: https://alpinelinux.org * Debian Linux: https://debian.org * Casuarina Linux: https://casuarina.org My automotive half can be found at https://weird.autos/@fxworks Boosts / Shares ≠ Endorsement. #nobot #noindex

I guess since the whole "Flatpak creating a dependency on systemd" bullshit has surfaced this week there has been some other conversations about systemd going on throughout the Fediverse.
I've seen some oblique references to Debian making an effort to make OpenRC more viable as an alternate init system. That's about all I've gathered on my hit-n-run timeline surfing the last several days. Not sure if this is an official Debian project or just someone's wish list.
Anyone have the skinny? Links to actual discussions?

F/OSS hacker, mostly working on #OpenVPN - speaks only for himself. "Don't aim to be someone. DO something." #nobridge - because I believe in the real #fediverse, and I don't want my own views/data to be abused by yet another "closed-service which can do whatever it wants for profit". **BEWARE:** Someone has created a Twitter profile in my name: https://twitter.com/DavidSommerseth - this is ***not*** me **If you want to follow me**, you now **MUST** have some content on your profile where we have some common ground on interests. I will no longer accept random profiles wanting to follow with no toots or no other follows or followers in the same interest sphere.

The #AppImage "packaging" approach being embraced by many projects is just another poor approach. It does not really solve what it is expected to should solve: Dependency issues.
More and more .AppImage downloads now produce results like these:
/tmp/.mount_tumpa-Z5HMuu/usr/python/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/tmp/.mount_activiXYBUA0/aw-qt: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_activiXYBUA0/libQt6WaylandClient.so.6: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags
I dunno if it is due to incorrect packaging or a design artefact with AppImage.
I believe #flatpak is the only true sane way to go. At least if you don't want to frustrate users.

Why some people say "flatpack" instead of "flatpak"?

I've got #LibreWolf installed as a #Flatpak.
Was going to reply that, unfortunately, LibreWolf wouldn't work with my #YubiKeys …then it occurred to me:
#Flatseal > Applications > LibreWolf > Device > All devices > ON
LIbreWolf Flatpak now does #FIDO2 on #Linux!

as much as it’s in the news* these days, i’m surprised https://handy.computer/ doesn’t have a #flatpak yet
