    what a flatpac is and why people hate it,

    Huh, most people actually like Flatpak, and for good reasons too.

      Most people do like flatpaks, I use them because I use Kinonite and Atomic Budgie, but there are those people that don’t like them or any other 3rd party universal packaging format. it’s kind of a Luddite attitude if you ask me.

        Flatseal, flat sweep, and warehouse will manage all your flatpaks as you see fit. And Gear Lever for managing all your appImages.

        Or KDE’s built-in Flatpak permissions settings. But yeah I guess, it’s mostly needed for applications that haven’t adopted to the new Portal API’s yet which is the better solution, but this works for now until applications have updated.

        I am super thankful for flatpaks. I do wish I understood things a little better in flat seal though. can do some basics but I don’t know or understand what 95% of the flat seal options are for a given piece of software or why some of the fixes I’ve put in from when I’m googling a problem actually work.
