nix-bundle VS Flatpak

I admit that there is an element of, "but I chose an obscure and challenging linux variant, waaah why isn't it supported" here, but (a) there's currently no flatpak and (b) when, for goodness sakes, will major linux projects begin packaging for Nix/NixOS as a matter of course? It's not hard, and the benefits go far outside merely supporting Nix, as e.g. a flake.nix file would allow this project to generate docker... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Another way to approach this would be to advocate Nix as the build system for Flatpak or AppImage. Don't know what the status is of nix-bundle, but if it is possible to turn a Nix package into an AppImage with little extra work that would be ideal. Source: over 2 years ago

Somewhat related, I wanted to mention nix-bundler it allows to wrap an application with nix into a single file. Source: over 2 years ago

Nix itself is more focused on "distribute from this host with nix, to this other host with nix". Though, here is e.g. https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle, which is supported as an experimental command in nix 2.4. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

It shouldn't be too complicated to create a package from the provided tarball. [1]: https://flatpak.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

Besides, there is another way to install Android Studio on Devuan: Flatpak. They have the package. Moreover, when you use a different Linux distro and can use Snaps, there is also the package. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
