Is there a downside to Flatpak?

  • Probably JSON. I haven’t been involved in Flatpak for a long time but I’ve never seen XML. JSON is quite close to XML in it’s layout sometimes I find so easily mistaken.

    • Average NVIDIA driver experience

  • The driver installation has got a lot easier over time, still shit that you have to install a driver, still shit support for older cards. The open drivers they're building are too little too late for me. They didn't care about my slightly older GPU so I stopped buying their hardware. All AMD/Intel from here on in.

  • complicate packaging, XML sucks (are there good editors or something?), I heard that the Flatpak builder is better for certain languages.

    What has XML got to do with it? Flatpak manifests are either JSON (not great but OK) or YAML, which is great.

    • Do you use aliases?
