@itsfoss From a Security POV: Flatpak > Snap > AppImage

Based on the attack surfaces:
- Flatpak stands out with strong sandboxing, granular permissions, and XDG portals, though shared runtimes remain a concern.
- Snap offers isolation and auto-updates but raises questions around snapd daemon risks and centralized repo reliance.
- AppImage prioritizes portability over security—limited containment and weak trust chains.

Thoughts? Did I miss anything?
