Which basically means your least favorite thing about flatpak is flatpak.
Don’t get me wrong,but why do you think it’s so easy to install apps via flatpak?
For me the benefit of having dependencies containerized is well worth the wasted space or system dependency incompatibilities.
benefit of having dependencies containerized
wait just a minute there. So I just not that long ago started playing around with docker containers. And one thing that I love is that it’s not installing and leaving behind leftover dependencies when you remove/uninstall whatever program/app you were using. Are you telling me that Flatpak does that? Because if so that is amazing. And if I ever make the switch from Windows to Linux, I’m definitely using Flatpak (and apt. Fuck snaps)
yesterday i tried to delete snap-store, it took firefox with it, and then i got no browser to troubleshoot that.
tried to install firefox from flatpak, it installed it but it disappears after restart.
dealing with linux felt like this lately https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D7OmauE8FEU
had to reinstall ubuntu 3 facking times :/
That is because in ubuntu firefox is installed as snap by default, as for the flatpak version i do not know what happened. If you want firefox as a deb you need to add a ppa and then you can apt install firefox. There are lots of guides. All of these package managers can be confusing at times
i should have known: i didnt have a browser to download anything, i could have downloaded firefox.deb with phone or something then install it
of these package managers can be confusing at times
exactly.
