    This article reviews three universal Linux packaging formats: Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. It covers each format's development, key features, advantages, and disadvantages. Snap, developed by Canonical, offers auto-updates and strong security but is large due to dependencies. Flatpak ensures enhanced security with robust sandboxing and supports multiple distros independently. AppImage, known for simplicity, requires no installation but doesn't integrate into systems as smoothly. Ideal for developers and users, the guide clarifies choosing the best manager based on security, simplicity, or resource use.
