    Which basically means your least favorite thing about flatpak is flatpak.

    Don’t get me wrong,but why do you think it’s so easy to install apps via flatpak?

    For me the benefit of having dependencies containerized is well worth the wasted space or system dependency incompatibilities.

      Oh yeah for sure, I just thought it was funny. I explicitly install most things through my primary package manager, but for some things in my use case, Flatpak is definitely the call!

      benefit of having dependencies containerized

      wait just a minute there. So I just not that long ago started playing around with docker containers. And one thing that I love is that it’s not installing and leaving behind leftover dependencies when you remove/uninstall whatever program/app you were using. Are you telling me that Flatpak does that? Because if so that is amazing. And if I ever make the switch from Windows to Linux, I’m definitely using Flatpak (and apt. Fuck snaps)
