Hey SGOTI,

Personally I am not a fan of any of the "universal" formats. Back in the day, Slackware had .tgz, Debian had .debs, and redhat had .rpms, Then people said "that is too convoluted, AAA game designers will never put up with that!" So each of them started working on their own "universal" package format. So here we are years later, with (again) three primary formats, ubuntu has snaps, redhat has flatpak, and whoever did appimage. But now we still have 3 so called universal package formats...So how are we any better off?

You remember the old saying, "The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.” :D
