Way simpler to do on Linux than M$ Windows.

I mean, flatpak, appimage, docker, etc ...

Completely unnecessary on Windows since it is an operating system, not a kludge of random source code from the internet. > I mean, flatpak, appimage, docker, etc ... Which of those is ubiquitous enough to ensure availability of what you're looking for in that format? In my experience: none of them. AppImage is easily the best, but the community seems to hate it because it makes things too flexible and simple or something.
- ailideex 7y ago> Way simpler to do on Linux than M$ Windows. Where, pray tell, do people who write the software for this "operating system" store their source code if not somewhere that is connected to the internet? Do they use punch cards? > Which of those is ubiquitous enough to ensure availability of what you're looking for in that format? Have not met someone who hates AppImage. flatpak is also rather ubiquitous. I use both every day.
