There are a lot of third-party Linux apps built with GTK4/Libadwaita. If you just to to https://flathub.org and click on random apps a lot of them will use GTK. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
I would recommend taking a look at Flatpak. Source: 5 months ago
Flathub flatpak format apps/games for linux desktop, does not require any specific linux distribution just that flatpak is present on the system. Source: 7 months ago
Which X clients are these? You didn't name any so let's just look at some of the popular and recent flathub apps: https://flathub.org/ I see a lot of games, chat apps, text editors, photo apps, office apps. These all will work fine in XWayland and XQuartz. But also, it's relatively easy to get them running on Wayland natively. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
If you're worried about the potential of breaking things, I'd pick the Fedora Kinoite distro. Up to date gaming support, stable and extremely difficult to break. Install apps from Flathub using the built-in Discover software store and go nuts. Source: 7 months ago
Sounds like https://0install.net which has been around for a while. Personally I prefer to avoid 'installing' anything: if something's written in Java, its launcher should reference some specific java binary; if something's written in Python, it should reference some specific python3 binary; etc. For example, my job is mostly writing Scala and building it with Maven; yet I have neither installed system-wide.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
It seems more like a package manager. https://0install.net/. Source: over 1 year ago
The article mentions Snap, AppImage and FlatPak, but there is also a much older system called 0install (zero install) that was started in 2003 or so [1]. I wonder why that never took off.

That's true, future app distributions should utilize web 3.0, e.g. decentralization. There is 0install ( https://0install.net/ ), for example, it is better. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
