Neither are snaps. The future, for regular daily use, are appimages. Much like MacOS dmgs, these are a "single" file (from an end user perspective) that you download, double click, and run. That's it. Ideally we'd see more work in this area. I am slowly trying to figure out how to automate builds for GUI apps and I am considering somehow settings up an inexpensive server to pull, package, and submit appimages to appimagehub. A crowdsourced effort would be cool. Imagine a distro where by default if you place apps in ~/Applications you can just execute them. Comes with risks, but having them "signed" by appimage a lot of it would be mitigated. Linux, while excellent as a desktop, and I am referring to the many awesome distros available, is really user friendly. Let's make it even more user friendly.
