Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
A tool that is capable of bundling everthing (including glibc, libstdc++. and gcc 9 runtime libraries) like https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder or go-appimage appimagetool -s deploy may be better suited for the meantime
- appimage-builder v1.0.1 is here

I have an application (written in python) which uses libadwaita. How would I create an AppImage that contains all required dependencies for this app?
AppImage Builder Can Be Configured To use Pacman Too. Look At This Example And Umm Yea LibAdwaita is Not Available in Most Repositories.
- Good news AppImage makers and Arch Linux users! Now it's possible to use the appimage-builder generator feature to create bundle recipes using pacman. This is feature comes with a great remake of the whole generator implementation. Give it a try

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Flathub – The Linux App Store
> CLI tools do not implement auto-complete themselves. What you are seeing are auto-complete scripts for your shell that make network connections.
nit: This is incorrect. Robust auto-complete scripts call the actual program to provide completions.
That is what Flatpak does. It is Flatpak itself that makes the network connections.
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/blob/main/completion/flat...
Not that it would make any differencen if it was implemented in Bash seeing as the Bash script is also provided by Flatpak.

Linux Phones (2022)
The only performance impact I know of is with the seccomp filter in CPU-bound tasks: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187
Skimming through the recent comments, there might be a way to optimize some of it.
What are some alternatives?
