My totally unscientific opinion (with a double-your-money-back guarantee!):
I’m not crazy about either Flatpak or Snap for that matter as there’s so much backend baggage for both as well as certain hurdles regarding privileges and access to the file system (somebody please correct me if I’m wrong or working with dated information.)
My other completely prejudiced, unfounded bias against Flatpak is that it appears to have been adopted by RedHat as “the one true way,” and what with IBM’s/RedHat’s behaviour anti-FOSS behaviour lately, plus I’ve almost always have been an apt user, I find it a pill hard to swallow.
Me, say what you will about the security issues and its other flaws, but I like AppImage.
Flatpaks follow the concept “losen the sandbox as much as needed to make apps work”. This sucks, in constrast to android, but its needed.
So you shouldnt need to edit anything via Flatseal/KDEs settings, if you want to make apps work.
Flatpak is default on OpenSuse too, even more as they use Flathub instead of the Fedora Flatpaks repo. RHEL is just trying to get some money and stop people from using their work, as they need to make money.
Honestly it should be normalized that people on FOSS do weird things to make money. Fedora is RHEL upstream, so RHEL is not stealing any code, just take what Fedora does and wait a bit until its stable.
Appimages are completely flawed and as an apt user you should not like to use them, at all. This post of min may give some infos, I will update it soon.
And speaking of completely flawed, your link doesn’t work.
Anyway, thanks for berating informing me about AppImage but it’s the closest thing on Linux to app bundles which IM<HO is the sanest way to package applications.
Hmmm…my link in the previous post works. More proof of why Linux has never really taken off with the non-spectrum general public. I guess just following format ([words](https://your.lousy.link)) or – god forbid – you select a word, click the link button and paste just isn’t esoteric enough…?
In any case, I see that you edited your post to cover your tracks fix Lemmy’s error.
The error is that I dont use https as every browser defaults to that, but lemmy links it internally. I fixed it. Stop annoying me, my comment was constructive and trying to help, so whatever this is stop it.
