Announcing GoboLinux 017.01 - Passing the Torch 🔥
gobolinux.org

I discovered GoboLinux not long ago and was disappointed to see it was no longer being maintained. It’s exciting to see some folks are picking it back up again.

    so a bunch of versions of stuff to be compatible… like what flatpak does?

      No, not quite. Flatpak is containers - it just stuffs every dependency that an application needs in a directory with no way to deduplicate or update independently. Gobo is a bit more nuanced, since dependencies are shared between applications when the versions match.

        flatpak does indeed deduplicate. The stuff is updated to whatever is required as a dependency to whatever programs are installed. And versions are shared between applications when versions match as well…

        So I am guessing it is just like flatpak
