Flatpak and snap have proven to be ineffective and security theatre. Sandboxing all user apps doesn't work, often the applications are created to not be sandboxed, and the existing sandbox configs are improper.
We don't need yet another store. What we need is a simple registry of applications that are installed with the scripts to uninstall. We already have this, it's a package manager.
For soft that doesn't need a package manager, we have .appimage.
Instead of making it more difficult to package apps for Linux, focus on having few methods that are robustly supported.
