Wrong, That is exactly the fear. I wouldn't touch a flatpak or containers with a ten foot pole. I don't need 3G or dependencies for every "hello world" app that I may want to install. I don't need multiple versions of the same package installed as a flatpack dependency for different apps. I don't need to waste resources with a native apache setup and a containerized implementation of a groupware package that runs on its own containerized apache. No thanks. New approaches are fine if they eliminate problems and bloat. New approaches are not fine if they create new problems and increase bloat. Flatpack is an ill fit for a mature desktop distribution and more geared toward teenagers installing "apps" on smartphones. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
