  Both of which will be dead in 10 years, the former because it's solely focused on the desktop, latter because it's a vendor initiative not a community one.

    > latter because it's a vendor initiative not a community one. You may be right, but I don't think you should be quite so cynical. 18.04 has a ten year Long Term Support, and Ubuntu was first released in 2004.

    > [Flatpak will be dead in 10 years] because it's solely focused on the desktop By this logic, GNOME should have died a long time ago. Focusing on the desktop makes Flatpak better at managing desktop apps. For servers we have, well, Docker.
