FAQ - how does flatpak compare to other app frameworks?
From issue #58, we probably ought to add the following to the FAQ:
- How does flatpak compare to other application sandboxing technologies: zeroinstall, glick, snap, ... ?
- How does flatpak compare to other packaging technologies: rpm, dep,... ?
We should consider whether this should go in the docs instead.
I think it is very hard to get comparisons to alternatives right. It would be easy to compare to traditional formats though.
Yeah specially since both flatpak and the alternatives are undergoing heavy development, any comparison would quickly drift apart from what's actually implemented on each tool.
