Snaps work on other Linux distros, not just Ubuntu. There is also Flatpak which may work even better. You should do your research.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoHe still has a deployment problem. Flatpak needs to be installed and requires users to set up repos, including flathub itself, so he has to have them jump through extra hoops even if he puts his product in the largest most default repo available. From what I understand about Snap, the only difference is that that the One True Repo is installed by default. AppImage is another option he could consider, which requires no repos or additional installs, just flipping the execute bit on the AppImage file. Unfortunately even that is spotty because there is no standard set of libraries to rely on like there is on other platforms, so he'd pretty much have to include everything from glibc up to be safe.
