  1. I would've said that FlatPak was a good runner up a couple of years ago, but now that I'm on Slackware 15 and it not only works but I've got several apps that refused to build from source which work as FlatPak's, I like it a bit more now. AppImage's are definitely the best though, because I can just plop it somewhere, chmod +x it and go. No installation, no fiddling or faddling, just run it right after download. Yeah, you have to trust the person that puts it together, but you have to trust a lot of people already when it comes to using any computer. You have to trust that all of the hardware manufacturers aren't putting in backdoors, which we now know they pretty much all do, and you have to trust the OS distributor, which for Linux you mostly can, and you have to trust each of the applications you have running on your system which may or may not be written by and/or maintained by anyone that has your best interests at heart. So unless you make all your own hardware and software, you eventually have to trust someone.
