So instead of a Deb vs. RPM war we now have a Snap vs. Flatpak was. As ever
this remains a RedHat vs. Canonical war.

Is it clear that either Snap or Flatpak are as efficient as native packages in
terms of space requirements, download time, install time.

Currently, I use Linuxbrew for the very few packages I cannot get from the
Debian repository. I'd like to avoid Snap or Flatpak if at all possible.

Does AppImage have a role? Or one of the other tens of "solutions" to the "we
have to have a single packaging system for all Linux distributions" "problem".
