Definitely not a post relating to on at all. Do not be suspicious.

What packaging format do you prefer for your GUI applications?

@justsoup

If I were to rank them:

  1. Distro packages
  2. Build from source (if a reasonable difficulty level)
  3. Flatpak
  4. Snap

@justsoup Oof your capitalization of postmarketOS hurts 🙈

Please don't capitalise the P, and _especially_ not the M!

@bart @justsoup

FYI in English proper names are capitalised, it doesn't matter if they are stylized in a different way in branding 😉

@bart

I know that isn't how the capitalization is actually written, but I know that screen readers can have trouble separating the words in hashtags unless the first letter is capitalized.

@justsoup distro package 99% of the time, but flatpak if I need to run proprietary software... if only there was a package manager that supported easy sandboxing without all the bloat.

@justsoup

1. The package built for my OS - Arch.
2. Flatpak.
3. Source, I guess.
4. Others need not apply, I don't want an app image or snap.
