Still not a fan of using flatpack or snaps as a standard method for installing apps.
Maybe it makes sense for development builds, but final releases should function properly without requiring the overhead of redundant support files and libraries on the users' machines. That is the opposite of the "Do one thing and do it well" mindset.

Great, another package manager that isn't needed. If programmers would write better code we wouldn't need all these damned things. Clearly a lot do write good code that works with common distros without problems....
The UNIX philosophy is shit and it's a good thing that it's getting what it fucking deserves.
The operating system should provide a consistent API, with alternate versions for backwards compatibility, and all other libraries should be compiled into every application that uses them. Dynamic linking is an absolute cancer that should never have existed.
