@HaTetsu@mastodon.com.pl @tasket@infosec.exchange as you say, Flatpak is not universally loved.
I think it's easier as a Linux user to stop worrying and learn to love the bomb (confusion). It certainly gives us, above the old C API, tremendous choices.

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social @HaTetsu@mastodon.com.pl Ah, the 1990s are calling with rose-colored glasses. It doesn't help you as much as you think if the rest of the world around you is (digitally) seizing up. You are caught up in the failure of popular systems, too, whether you like it or not. Its also the failure of open systems to catch on. Increasingly, web sites and other services will refuse to serve us without proper device attestation. Required proprietary apps will no longer run. The devices that are not ours that are in our vicinity will spy on us and manipulate the people around us.
