thats just the most dumb ass suggestion i've ever heard! whats the point of an
open platform if you constrain yourself to a limited set of installable packages.
You might as well admit that installing software on linux was simply better when we
did ./configure; make; make install; after having downloaded a zip from a newsgroup
by bilbo baggins
Windows and apples a mess .. sorry but installing apps on both platforms is charm
compared with linux.
flat pack feels like a common sense approach for user space apps. repos are prefect
for core libs and frameworks , drivers etc .... but its clear that while distro
packaged apps are easier , they dont actually work for the majority of app
distributers. so it better to have a 2 pronged solution.
packages where apps are very distro specific, and flatpack for apps that need
specifics.
