    Snaps is too well controlled by Canonical and does have it’s limits.

    Flatpaks can be very secure, and works in most distros. It is one of my favorites.

    AppImages are real easy, and is designed to work on most distros. The only problem is that many apps aren’t current. So I don’t recommend it unless an app provides it on their own sites. AppImages are often made by somebody else.

      Flatpaks are not secure. Please don’t spread misinformation.
