  • I'll try to reword it so it's clearer what I meant: I think developers shouldn't have to maintain more than one package format, and I think flatpak is the best format to be the one supported by the developer officially. Many developers officially support only .deb for example.

  • Yes, but developers can create only flatpak, where they make sure it works and they officially support it, and then completely stop caring about other formats and community packages. Just like Bottles project does.

  • Given the shortage of people working on FOSS apps, I'm all in for anything that makes their lifes easier, so tgey can focus on the programming part and don't have to care about packaging. That can be solved with community packaging like AUR, but that has it's own problems.

  • Because if the company (Valve) knows there are many Linux users using their software, it will use it's resources to help Linux. They make Proton, which is FOSS, and contribute a lot to Wine and Linux in general.
