Do… Do you think I’m claiming snaps are better or something? I’m saying they’re much easier to use and I don’t give a shit about walled-garden BS. I don’t want my laptop to be like my phone. I want to install an application and I want it to work. Flatpaks are fine - they just made a really stupid decision about how to run them from the CLI which is 90% of the time where I launch programs from.
I’m sure everyone does that.
Yeah with Snaps you also have unofficial packages, no apparmor at all and a mix of foss and nonfoss apps.
But with flatpak these things are accessible and Flatseal is very commonly used.
“Already perfect” vs. “Has the foundation to fix it easily” distros could easily allow to add the subset or improve the permission system.

Do you have a better approach for running from CLI? Apps need exact names I guess, and the system is exact.
The way we’ve done it for like 30 years seems to work.
How would you prevent package duplicates when using flatpak and native?
