many (most?) desktop apps. I don't recall if it was using Flatpak, Snap, <br>
Docker, or something else. I think that the aim was for version control which <br>
didn't interest me but I am now interested in such things for security. <br>
Google searches haven't turned up anything on it. Youtube searches have <br>
turned up a dozen interesting talks about various container issues but only <br>
from the last ~4 years and I recall there was a good one earlier than that.<br>
<br>
Anyone remember anything like that?<br>
