This is great to see! The Sovereign Tech Agency have made a big investment into the future of Flatpak, the modern Linux packaging format.

    Flatpak is an excellent format

      Agreed. I initially used AUR since native builds tend to work better but after that whole debacle with malware (thankfully I wasn’t affected) I’ve removed all except a select few and just replaced everything I could with flatpaks. Takes a bit of tweaking for some apps but honestly worth it for peace of mind.

    I like flatpak but it’s horribly inefficient… I downloaded the steam flatpak and it was 15gb installed!! I don’t think there’s anything better really but damn.

      The first couple flatpaks always hurt. They mellow out for me as I add more since most use the same runtimes, but I do agree.
