What's the TL;DR version of this?

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

tldr:

flatpak - good

linux people arguing over other ways to package and distribute - bad

I see. I'm generally a fan of Flatpak even though I still think it has some drawbacks. I think it's good to have alternatives though, because I don't want to be stuck in its ecosystem if the people behind it decide to take it in a stupid direction.
