Every attempt at "solving" this "problem", including Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage, are an absolutely awful regression in the state of Linux. I absolutely hate this trend. These tools solve problems for only two kinds of software: proprietary software, and software with suck reckless, runaway complexity that it can only run in one specific environment. I have no interest in either kind and I will give no quarter to "solutions" for their "problems".
