Third party binary packages are most often installed on Linux like:
tar xzf firefox-99.0.tar.gz ; cd firefox ; ./firefox
Flatpaks and other things are still a novelty and it's not clear it will ever take over the above.

- xorcist 5y agoFirefox and Jetbrains are probably among the most popular Linux software. Every language runtime from NodeJS, Go, Python and Perl. Sublime Text, Citrix, Teamviewer, every commerical CAD software, pretty much very game.
