How do you feel about Flatpak? Do you like having universal packages separated from the operating system, or do you regret how much space they take? (piefed.zip)

    but problem with appimages is that there are no repositories

    and they rely on older fuse implementation.

    Recently I have been using language specific package managers more - cargo (and cargo binstall) to get most of rust stuff. And since I like new stuff, I happen to have quiet a few (~20) packages from it. binstall allows to fetch binary releases. Only major problem with it is that cargo has limitations in it’s pacakaging, and effectively only /bin parts of package is installed
