  @Papaexmatrikulatus This blog post explains my reasons perfectly. https://machaddr.substack.com/p/snap-or-flatpak-on-linux-why-you Pretty much the same reasons why I hate Electron apps.

  @Papaexmatrikulatus @aerion I personally avoid flatpaks (snaps not as much) because of limited system access and therefore usability. The two main things I noticed: - Missing subpixel anti-aliasing led to worse readability of text in e.g. LibreWolf - Filesystem access: LibreWolf file downloads failed, KiCad could only open the files when directly opened from the file manager, FreeCAD could not save any files at all (fixed in newer versions though) Can I fix some of those issues with permission management? Maybe, but I tried for a few minutes and then realised one should just install the native version from whatever package manager one uses
