    I’ll use snaps if I HAVE to, ex Telegram. AppImages just seem like the same prob with grabbing binaries, in terms of updates. I might jump on the FlatPak train if I didn’t like apt so much. Man, OSX and brew really is so much better then this shit, just works and is always up to date.

      Brew sucks. It’s soooo slooooow. Flatpak is awesome, AppImage is weird, and Snaps are kinda there as well I guess.

        Brew on Linux, yeah, I don’t even bother. But on OSX it’s a first class citizen, works as well as yum and apt.

          I’m using OSX for work and Homebrew is really slow there too. Honestly though that’s really my only complaint. That, and some aesthetic yank caused by it being a bunch of shell and ruby scripts in a trench coat, but that’s not an objective thing.

            I there is a setting to have it not check all packages for updates when installing a new one. I forget where. It’s auto update something.
