@bas_spr@digitalcourage.social Exactly, more fiddling required to achieve (partial) parity with native versions. It should make things easier, not harder. Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage (and Electron) primarily benefit developers, while offering little benefit to users. Furthermore, it scatters packages over multiple installation sources, instead of just one: the native package manager.. And finally, yet again we have multiple, incompatible, approaches trying to solve the same problem. Until there is a single, unified method for package distribution, that addresses all the shortcomings of the current ones, I'm steering clear of all of them. @Papaexmatrikulatus@mastodon.social

  • @bas_spr@digitalcourage.social @aerion@nerdculture.de I don't really understand the part of your argument abour a unified approach: The package manager is a unified approach for Distributions, but not for Linux as a whole. So, here you have Flatpak, where you can install the same version of Delta Chat or other apps the same way accross different distribitions.
