Between Fedora and Ubuntu I have some of each. For example Brave exists 
both as a snap and a flatpak. They both work and are both a 1.77.100. VS 
Code is a deb on Raspberry Pi OS, a rpm on Fedora, and a snap on Ubuntu. 
They're all 1.93.3 and work (although I did have to drop back from the Pi 
5 kernel optimizations). I have some things that are Appimages on Ubuntu 
and flatpaks on Fedora like the Arduino IDE v2. Same version, both work.

Seeing a thread here? I really don't care how it happens as long as it 
does on all my Linus and Windows boxes. I only get upset when it doesn't 
work. For example Raspberry Pi OS uses a GNOME 2 fork and I can't find a 
gVim that works. My work Debian box is 32 bit, and there is no 32 bit VS 
Code.
