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 like Flatpaks for running proprietary software (Slack, Discord, Spotify) because I can use Flatseal to lock down permissions for each app.

    I also agree with someone else that said Flatpaks don’t really integrate well when they need deep system integration.

    I really like that Flathub now has a verified section (as opposed to some random person packaging the application).
