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.

The biggest downside is that it’s only for distributing applications with a graphical user interface. Command line utilities still need another method of distribution.
That’s a good point!
I keep seeing this criticism, but flatpak provides a run command on its cli that works just fine. It is a little clunky though.
Clunky as in
flatpak run io.neovim.nviminstead of justnvimCan’t you alias that?
I don’t need to do it with native-installed programs. And they are properly integrated with the OS, if you install them:
Yep. But,
sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <There is no .desktop menu entry and i need to remember a lengthy fqdn which does not autocomplete, great ui
