Flatpak Is Not the Future
Snap and flatpak run a daemon to integrate into your system. Appimage has an optional daemon to give you the same integration https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage
Handles making it executable, automatic upgrades, no need to move it to your $PATH, and adds the application to your app list.
Only other thing you might want to do is symlink a friendly name for cli

Can I still use Flatpaks with musl-version of Void?
It's possible to make appimages that bundle a libc, although most don't. The go-appimage project contains a static build tool that will bundle the linker and wrap executable invocation in that. The intention seems to be providing support on older systems for programs built with a glibc that is too new, but I'm using it to ship a musl binary that can run on glibc systems.

FOSDEM ‘23 - I was wrong about Flatpak, AppImage, and Snap
I look forward to watching the FOSDEM talk this weekend, so perhaps getting ahead of myself. But I'm curious whether you think the move in appimage toward static linking would solve some of the hairy issues you pointed out? For example: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1193 and https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/

Tips for avoiding bloat with Wine's multilib dependencies?
AppImage This seems like a convenient way of keeping Wine isolated from rest of the system. However, the documentation is still in research phase for this: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Bundling-Windows-applications https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher https://github.com/sudo-give-me-coffee/wine32-deploy

How to set an appimage as the default pdf viewer?
There's an automatic way to make .desktop entries from appimage, I use https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/blob/master/src/appimaged/README.md

Question about .appimage
There are helper programs to help you manage them and integrate them with the system like other package formats.
- When I install a program from the Ubuntu repositories, I can press the Super key and search for it any time, and it shows up as a friendly icon. How can I add AppImage files to this database?

Red Hat donates $10,000 to OBS Studio, Flatpak to be official for Linux

- No Flatpacks or Snaps on my system

AppImageLauncher to Integrate AppImages (including Games/Emulators) in Your Linux Distro Seamlessly!
Would be great if most distros (including Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) would include AppImageLauncher or appimaged by default. Would make it much simpler for most people.

[PSA] If you are having problems running EAC enabled games on Steam, try running Steam through conty
For the glory of mankind he edited his post saying that running Steam through conty (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty) fixed his problem with EAC enabled games.

Civ6 in a Windows VM?
Have you tried using: Flatpak (use flatseal for other library locations), Conty (use HOME_DIR in case you want to separate it from host's .steam folder), or Distrobox (use Bazzite-Arch image for quick setup)

Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
These ideas I'm toying with also is what made me request the non-image option with Conty here (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty/issues/77) where u/Kron4ek speedily patched an option to do so (ty!). Though I'm still pondering what I'm trying to do and if it would make sense with Conty.

Current state of linux application sandboxing. Is it even as secure as Android ?
I'd imagine the sandbox options are bubblewrap presets, though -- you'd probably want to look around conty-start.sh for more details or ask in the GitHub Discussion.

The first tip to give to any new Linux user should be "do NOT search for, download, and install software on the Web!"
Have you tried Conty? The best way I could describe it is the combination of distrobox and AppImage. You basically build a single binary (or use the pre-built one the dev made) containing a minimal Arch install and any other packages you listed in the create-arch-bootstrap.sh file.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Do note that with Nobara having Fedora base, some stuff might not have a Flatpak/AppImage or RPM for you to install easily unlike on Debian/Ubuntu-based (tho PikaOS is Nobara re-implemented under Ubuntu-base, but I haven't tested it). Distrobox and Conty may help you with that, but if you were fine with Steam Deck's limitation, you should be alright under Fedora-based distro.

Improved Wine gaming with exeCute
It's why I usually just run Bottles in Conty. nix-unstable also have the latest Bottles builds, though I haven't tested those yet. I don't think the default permissions is a big problem though, just something to note if you store your games outside of areas it has permissions for by default.
