Flatpak vs AUR?

General system Applications
2

I look for software in this order:

  1. official Arch Linux software repositories
  2. the AUR
  3. building it myself from source code (either making a PKGBUILD for it or keeping it in the home directory)
  4. Appimage from a trustworthy source
  5. Flatpak from a trustworthy source

Snaps never.

This may or may not be good for you, but it works for me, and this is what I recommend.
