Ok, but the method you are prefering isn't a unified approach either, because it depends on your distro, so...
I mean, the link you posted above criticises the de jure (Snap) and de facto (Flathub) centralization of these packaging systems, which is a valid.
But why then, do you want a unified approach? Honestly i would only use Snaps if i really had to... But Flatpaks are in my mind at least more or less the standard packages for sandboxing on Linux. Who uses Appimages?

@Papaexmatrikulatus@mastodon.social But that has been my point all along: I don't *want* Flatpak et al. I prefer staying with native packages. *If* there is to be a unified approach at all, it has to address the current issues, the biggest one of which is competing systems. Until then, as I originally stated, I am not interested. They do not solve a problem for me, they *create* problems. Also, as previously stated, they primarily benefit devs, as they only have to package their apps once. Just like Electron apps primarily benefit devs. As for who uses AppImage: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=Appimage @bas_spr@digitalcourage.social
