Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    I keep seeing this criticism, but flatpak provides a run command on its cli that works just fine. It is a little clunky though.

      Clunky as in flatpak run io.neovim.nvim instead of just nvim

          I don’t need to do it with native-installed programs. And they are properly integrated with the OS, if you install them:

          1. You get a menu entry in gui
          2. You get a binary or a wrapper in /usr/bin
