Not to be left behind by a certain competing project, the developers of the
Flatpak packaging system have put out a press
release proclaiming its virtues. “The Linux desktop has long
been held back by platform fragmentation. This has been a burden on
developers, and creates a high barrier to entry for third party application
developers. Flatpak aims to change all that. From the very start its
primary goal has been to allow the same application to run across a myriad
of Linux distributions and operating systems. In doing so, it greatly
increases the number of users that application developers can easily
reach.”
