What is it called when you install VSCodium using the commands on the website instead of installing a flatpak? (sh.itjust.works)

I didn't install a flatpak or snap from the software store.

What kind of package did I install through the command line? Thanks I'm a newb.

It depends on the specifics of the install script, it could be it called to directly download and install the binaries (no packaging), or it ran a set of validations then download and install a native package (.deb in this case).

Ok thanks yeah it was a .deb package. It says it in the command where I installed the repository. I thought all packages were supposed to be either snap or flatpak but now I understand.

Flatpaks and Snaps are supposed to replace native distro packaging, in order to be distro agnostic (you could run it on any distro), the issue with Snaps is that it depends on Canonical's mood and it is Ubuntu "native", whereas Flatpak is way more used elsewhere.

There is AppImages as well, but it used to a lesser extent.
