25 days agoI understand your perspective, but i am very happy that all these isolation options exist.
All those companies saying that developing a Linux app is too complex can just shut up and build a Flatpak.

I know my Pop!_OS install pulls Nvidia drivers and modules using flatpak. I don’t know the pros and cons of this method, but I’ve assumed it’s more robust due to decoupling of dependencies.
What is your opinion on flatpak vs pacman for proprietary Nvidia drivers?
100%! Often integrates better too.
I mostly mean from an advocate perspective, if a closed-source app developer doesnt want to build for Linux because the Linux desktop landscape is diverse and complex, you can tell them to just build a Flatpak and it will work and be installable everywhere.
That is a path of least resistance for developers which, I think, is leading to better app availability and compatibility for the Linux desktop.
