    One of the great advantages of software distributed with the source code is the flexibility to move to different platforms and architectures. I wonder if moving to a snap/flatpak model will change this flexibility in the future.

      They tried that, it’s called UWP. A lot of programs don’t want to be distributed through the microsoft store though, forcing them to use “old” .exe’s
