Unfortunately containerization took the easy route and is just passing around “all-in-one” blobs. I hope this changes eventually but there is a lot of work to be done. I emailed the author about the possible ideas in the above blog post and how dependency hell can be fixed.

Well worth reading, although how Linux goes about simplifying this is anyone's guess.

Will spend more time on his linked articles.
Was hoping he would go into more detail about Wine and Proton. Or even packaging Wine/Proton as Flatpak. Maybe next time.

Flatpak is today, like it or not. If anyone doesn't believe me, I will kindly ask them to take a look at the Steam Software & Hardware Survey and the backend of its software store.

Sure so is Docker and handful of other packaging systems. Doesn’t mean it’s good or here to stay just because Valve shoves it down your throat.
