I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

    i did look into solving this, but it was a while ago and i’ve forgotten. it’s something like gnome stores the theme in ~/.gtkrc, whereas plasma stores it in ~/.config/gtk/settingsrc; which flatpak doesn’t check. it also requires screwing with flatseal, didn’t work with gtk4, and was only minor compared to my other issues. it might work better if i used a flatpak theme, but there’s only about 10 available

    as for performance, it’s fine once the app starts, but startup takes ages. also, some flatpaks don’t seem to accept “open with” - bottles, for example, even though q4wine does
