[$] Distributors entering Flatpakland
Linux distributions have changed quite a bit over the last 30 years, butthe way that they package software has been relatively static. While the.deb and RPM formats (and others) have evolved with time, their currentform would not be unrecognizable to their creators. Distributors arepushing for change, though. Both the Fedora and openSUSE projects aremoving to reduce the role of the venerable RPM format and switch to Flatpak for much of their softwaredistribution; some users are proving hard to convince that this is a goodidea, though.
