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 personally don’t really like it, since it sidesteps what is supposed to be the all-in-one package manager for the system, and integration can be poor.

    It’s an alright idea, but I like the native package managers better. We’re not Windows, we don’t need so many different places to download our stuff.

      Flathub is just one place. But it has verified apps, so you have no distro packaging issues, which is a Linux/BSD only problem.
