@archlinux@fosstodon.org Why would you use a firefox AUR packadge. when if you use KDE you can download it from flatpak ? Am anyway sceptic with AUR packadges. Or is flatpack just as bad as AUR ?

  • @1024Bytes@masto.ai @archlinux@fosstodon.org The Firefox flatpak is maintained by Mozilla and verified on flathub but not all flatpaks are maintained by the upstream developer.

    @1024Bytes@masto.ai @archlinux@fosstodon.org 1. I don't want another package management system 2. I don't want containerization, neither on my Laptop/PC nor on my servers (yes, I also dislike docker, specifically docker) 3. I know makepkg pretty well, flatpak etc. not at all. I can easily read, customize and create PKGBUILDs, but not flatpaks

    @archlinux@fosstodon.org I need to correct myself. You not need flatpak for firefox. It's just in the pacman available.
