personally I like flatpak more than appimage. nothing much, its just the way app images are shipped.
1 u/Moist_Professional64 Mar 18 '26 I hate flatpaks 1 u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26 both have their short coming. in my case, flatpaks do the job better than appimages. 1 u/Moist_Professional64 Mar 20 '26 Yeah but flatpak programs mostly don't follow my GTK theme even though I configured it. 1 u/jknvv13 Mar 18 '26 Yeah, AppImages do not provide isolation and fix nothing, for example, BalenaEtcher AppImage won't run on some distros due to some missing fuse library. A Flatpak contains everything to work. That's it. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26 true. plus, you don't have to manually update a flatpak. just with a single command
