These all-in-one packages could be useful -- well, not snap, because Ubuntu -- if they carried everything needed, even to run something from another OS. As it is, they're a wad of confusion.
Example: I use FreeTube on Debian 12 on my Raspberry PI 5 televisions. Which was just fine until recently. Then they built the latest Electron, which does not run on Raspberry. So I d/led the appimage of the latest version of FreeTube. No help. A system that is as we were told Java would be -- write once, run everywhere -- would be useful. Best I can tell, there isn't one. All appimage does for us is make it easy to cleanly delete when it doesn't work, at the price of lots of storage.
