KDE has been interested in Flatpak for over a year. They even have a KDE runtime and a couple of KDE apps packaged: https://community.kde.org/Flatpak Yes, Snappy is better known because it's marketed by Canonical itself while Flatpak is still mostly pushed by the community, but I still believe Flatpak is better positioned to be a multidistro standard. Snappy has been developed with Ubuntu in mind only, just recently they made it work on other distributions (with a lot of shortcomings mentioned in this thread), the only reasonable way to distribute snaps is through Canonical's servers now, they require the unpopular CLA to contribute,...
