Flatpack really had solved packaging IMO.

Appimage may be the closest thing to the “executable” that Linus is talking about in that specific conference I mentioned.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

It was only after becoming acustom to linux that I realized how horrifically insecure executables are.
