Post #2477563

I run Debian 13 and I will use apt repositories whenever possible and I avoid flatpak with a passion. My flowchart is: 1) App Image if the application supports auto updating or if it's a temperary app 1) Apt repository 1) Deb file 1) App Image (when previous didn't apply) 1) Source 1) Flatpak My main reasoning for it is strictly ease of use. I find flatpaks while I'm sure makes it easier on the developers making it to be super bloaty and take up more system resources, While causing more restrictions and annoyances during configuration due to their enhanced security setup. The only time I really don't use a repo if it's available is if the program itself updates on its own, or updates super frequently such as Discord, which I got annoyed enough at that I had to make my own update script that to check if there's an update and then auto update it, because I got sick of the Discord has an update message every other day.
