I'm not entirely sure how to feel about the Flatpak-centric application ecosystem. Reminder: https://flatkill.org



I’m not necessarily like flatpak, but these childish websites with badly written arguments are the things that should be killed.. These are toxic and doesn’t help anyone at all


flatkill is FUD [0]

Also anecdotally I quite like flatpaks as a user. For example having Lutris as a flatpak (it's in flathub beta) is quite nice because it doesn't pollute my system with all those Wine dependencies.

Pro Tip: Use Flatseal to manage Flatpak permissions, e.g. give some apps access to specific folders you use that they don't have by default.


Wow! I never saw that site but it is FULL of misinformation and purposely claiming misleading "facts". I like how there is absolutely no contact info, as this tool knows he's full of crap.
