   Snapcraft vs AppImageKit Comments

   Negative comment by headlines · Jun 24, 2020

   The only server for Snapcraft is the Snap Store, which is closed source and owned by a single company (Canonical). AppImages can be hosted on any server, and are not tied to any one company.

   Positive comment by apostol · Jan 4, 2021

   It works perfectly on all Linux distributions and all desktops (GNOME, KDE, etc.)
