Flatpak is the next-generation technology for building and installing desktop applications. It has the power to revolutionize the Linux desktop ecosystem. Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a software utility for software deployment, package management, and application virtualization for Linux desktop computers. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run applications in isolation from the rest of the system.
 
Unlike package managers, Flatpak can safely update applications on the fly. Its sandboxing technology prevents exploits and hinders malicious applications. It can simultaneously install multiple versions of the same application.
 
Flatpak helps to create one app bundle and distribute it to the entire Linux desktop market. Developers can develop and test their application in an environment that's identical to the one users have.

 Virtualgo (or vg for short) is a tool which provides workspace based development for Go. Virtualgo doesn't do dependency resolution or version pinning itself, because this is a hard problem that's already being solved by other tools. Its approach is to build on top of these tools, such as dep, to provide the features features listed above. For people coming from Python vg is very similar to virtualenv, with dep being respective to pip. The main difference is that vg is much easier to use than virtualenv, because there's almost no mental overhead in using vg.

MojoSetup is a standalone installer for Linux, designed to help third-party developers that need to ship software outside of traditional package management infrastructure. MojoSetup is a heavy revamping of loki_setup and it started from scratch. Most of MojoSetup was designed explicitly to solve specific shortcomings in loki_setup.
