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.

    It’s about what you pay for. live in a place that doesn’t invest in utilities and infrastructure, don’t be surprised that you don’t have the latest greatest.

    My city in Canada paid to ensure everyone has fibre to the door. we had it rolled out a few years ago.

    We have cable options up to 2gbps, and fibre up to 5gbps currently. Enterprise / corporate fibre is also available at easily 50-100gbps. (I have 2 x 20gbps for my Datacentres)

      Problem with most US cities is you got big corporations like Cox, Comcast, Spectrum, etc that lock them down in contracts. Basically they offer to lay down the wiring and say “oh by the way, nobody else is allowed to use this besides us”. Used to live in Phx AZ with Cox being the “best” in town, with only Century Link as an alternative. Google Fiber was trying to get in but was locked out due to Cox’s titan grip on the city. So yay unchecked monopolies…
