There is also a Flatpak option (which I don't think requires systemd),
although I don't know who is providing it -
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.apache.netbeans  Lots of options
around!

Personally, while I like that we have a Snap, I don't agree with it
being the best Linux experience, which is why we're (ie. Codelerity /
Gj IT) providing a DEB.  The all-arch DEB that relies on system JDK
could in theory be released as an ASF artefact.  I'm planning to look
at whether we can do a release of NBPackage before NB16 to facilitate
that, as well as looking at other package formats in time.  Any
thoughts on priorities there?

Best wishes,

Neil
