Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    Endlessly reading on social media that is not a good from Linux “gurus”. LOL

    It’s been great for me, but I wish it had a official gui for permissions management.

      Are you aware of flatseal?

      If you are, is there an issue with using it for you?

      I wish there was an option for an android style system where, when an application wants to use a permission for the first time, you get a pop up asking you to grant that permission.

      Or, more generally, just some way to ensure that (a) a flatpak isn’t granted the permissions it wants automatically and (b) I can then manually grant those permissions as conveniently as possible
