Different Package system used in linux


Worried Of Dependency Hell in Linux?
To install a package, we need to run some commands or software center(like Ubuntu software center) and system should be connected to Internet (online) and each package has dependencies which must be satisfied to run the software properly .The offline installation of package in Linux is not easy .We cannot assure that everyone using computer is connected to Internet. It changes from person to person. To eradicate this, Microsoft windows uses .EXE files, simply double clicking it and with few clicks the software is installed and we can work with it. In Linux, it is just a dream but now the dreams come true .Yes now you can download a single package and install it offline system

FlatPak:
The package manager formerly known as xdg-app aims to provide cross platform sandboxed packages to every Linux distribution.
Advantage :
• Built with security i.e. programs are isolated from each other (sandbox).
• Support for different distribution.


Snappy: 
It’s a transactional package manager originally designed and built by Canonical Ltd. A single snap can work across range of Linux environments, making snaps a universal Linux package.
Advantage :
• Deployed in Internet of Things environment.
• In Ubuntu touch devices.
• No dependency.

ORB :(My Favourite)
The other project which provide portable version of package are ORB (Open Runnable Bundle) which can be downloaded from their website and can be used from pen drives, SD card. The ORB also provides Superdeb which can be used to install software offline
Advantage :
• Fast
• Portable
• Secure

Website:
• Snapcraft.io
• Orbital-apps.com
• Flatpak.org
