Linyaps (short for Linyaps Is Not Yet Another Packaging System)

CoPilot says : Linyaps (short for Linyaps Is Not Yet Another Packaging System) is a next-generation Linux application packaging and runtime framework designed to solve long-standing issues in traditional package management systems.

What Makes Linyaps Unique?

• Cross-Distro Compatibility: Apps packaged with Linyaps can run on multiple Linux distributions (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu, Deepin, UOS) without repackaging.

• Sandboxed Runtime: Uses Linux namespaces and cgroups to isolate applications from the host system, enhancing security and stability.

• Self-Contained Packages: Bundles all dependencies (like Qt, OpenSSL) with the app, avoiding "dependency hell".

• Rootless Operation: Apps run without needing root privileges, reducing risk from excessive permission grants.

• Multi-Architecture Support: Works across x86, ARM, LoongArch, MIPS, and more.

Originally inspired by Flatpak and developed by the Deepin team in 2017.

Officially debuted in 2022 and donated to the OpenAtom Foundation in 2024 to foster open-source growth.
