Installed #josm via #flatpak right now. Is this a good idea? As expected I am impressed of those independent package managers like #appinstall and #flatpak

But are the repos there trustworthy? Especially the default flatpak repo. Usually I trust apt repos the most. So adding a new oportunity for dependency injection on my private notebook does not always give good feeling.
Found this resource resourceful :)

It describes the basic differences and equalities between #Flatpak vs. #Snap vs. #AppImage
"In Linux, software is distributed using packages, compressed software files that include binary executables, configuration files, and dependencies. The packages are distributed through repositories and managed via package managers on the users' systems.
Distribution-independent package formats work on every Linux system because they bundle the application with all its required dependencies. Some of the most popular distribution-independent package formats are Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage."
