For Linux, we’re going to encourage people to use our Flatpak packages moving forward.

Sorry why the dislike about flatpack?

[–] nakal@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every distribution has their own package manager. It checks dependencies and obeys the specialities why this distribution exists at all. Something like flatpack circumvents all the ideas and installs things in a container that is too big and too strange. In the past I've had multiple issues with accessing video acceleration and other strange effects that I don't want to tweak. I'm not interested in updates by the vendor, but by my trusted distro's packagers.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation.
