@jakub I agree, in general, and to a large degree, but flatpak, snap, appimage, lang package managers, DIY installers, etc are are just symptoms or workarounds for the underlying problem, which is that distros or the wider ecosystem have been unable/unwilling to address the packaging and dependency needs of upstreams and end users. IMHO, we need to come up with a better ecosystem-wide approach before all of this (packaging, security, overworked devs/maintainers, user frustration) gets further out of hand.
