> Some interesting talks and videos [...] GNU is Bloated! by Luke Smith

Strange reference because that video isn't relevant to the topic at all. It's about the difference between GNU coreutils command line options and other standards such as BSD and POSIX (the title is mostly a joke). In fact Luke Smith is vehemently against the idea of AppImages/Flatpaks/Snaps and believe they go against the spirit of GNU/Linux [1].
