Please, don't force me (or anyone) to use flatpak. My system package manager is very competent.

  I had basically the same thought: as a user, flatpak means I'll need to install an extra daemon for something that doesn't need to run all the time, and therefore it's right out. AppImage is better in that it doesn't need that, but it has other limitations for the packaged software. I've also used software that just plopped files into /opt/… not great, but at least it's mostly contained. If you're not going to support some users, don't be surprised that somebody else ends up doing it I guess?

  Then you should be perfectly happy with this ask! The article ends with this addendum: > Our invitation is addressed to all those who are packaging Bottles incorrectly and/or do not provide adequate tests, thus invalidating the user experience. We are happy to help anyone who would like to keep their package, adapting to our quality standards (i.e. making the application work as it intended). If your system package manager and the people who package Bottles for your system are both very competent (i.e they don't break the software they package and don't introduce problems), Bottles isn't asking your system's packagers to stop packaging the software.
