    Flatpack isn’t without its own quirks and flaws. There is no One True Way. Being open-source, there shouldn’t be one.

    It is definitely slow though, mostly on first run.

      There should be one way for sandboxed shit, since the alternative of package managers already exists

      We don’t need snap, app image, flatpak all to compete. We need shit that just works

        The way you get “shit that just works” is through iteration and competition.

        If we just decide that the first solution to get any market share is the solution for all time? Uhm… hello Windows?

          Okay, we tried appimage and it didn’t work, so the second iteration as flatpak is mostly functional

          you don’t need ENDLESS competition of formats

      Gotta be honest, as a dev I tried to make a Flatpack of my app and gave up. Making a snap was much easier. Of course, I also offer it as a .deb, .rpm, Pacman package, etc. too
