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.

    It’s great for user apps, gui apps, and sandboxing. It’s terrible for cli apps, libraries, development, and integration.

      Yeah, I got an error message when I tried to update VSCode installed via flatpak

      Actually, I can’t remember if the error was from not being able to update or if an extension was having issues

      either way I still ditched it and grabbed the rpm version
