cpak is the OCI application package format for Linux desktops, servers and devices.

In short: structurally like Docker (reuses Dockerfiles), but without a daemon, and, unlike Podman or Nix, very lightweight, only two binaries do everything.
Common chunks of data are shared / deduplicated across installed packages, again like Docker or Nix.
The runtime is under LGPL2.

He has a bunch of projects. Most notable being:
- Bottles (Wine/Proton runner)
- cpak
- Atoms (container manager)
- VanillaOS (atomic OS with bespoke tooling)
- Sinty OS (another atomic OS with bespoke tooling)
- Sinty DE (desktop environement + apps)
It's fair to say most of them are AI generated nowadays.
