I'm in camp "let's hold our noses, pick one, and move forward". Whoever out there is working cross-distro should be focused on getting the three or four major distros on the same page. The three or four major distros need to be willing to go with the majority. I wish I thought this was possible and would love to be proven wrong. Desktop Linux absolutely has a future, but this impasse is holding everybody back and making the situation worse for commercial developers. * Snaps work but have a ton of rough edges. _The_ Snap Store cannot be owned by Canonical; there needs to be a cross-distro store that is the main source. (Distro specific ancillary stores would be fine.) * Flatpaks work but have a ton of rough edges. Flathub is messy and has volunteer packaged flatpaks of commercial software - that needs to stop. * In either case, we need to land on proper sandboxing with specific permissions granted. It shouldn't be an "unsandboxed" or "broken" decision; there needs to be fine grained access to whatever the app needs. I'd be 100% fine with burying the fine details in an "advanced" section, so the users who didn't care could "grant access". We need to learn from Vista and OSX and avoid making it annoying.
