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.

        I don’t need to do it with native-installed programs. And they are properly integrated with the OS, if you install them:

        1. You get a menu entry in gui
        2. You get a binary or a wrapper in /usr/bin

      Yep. But,

      sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim "$@"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim

      (I haven’t tested this, that I use similar code for a different program)

      It sure would be nice if flatpak bundled some functionality to do this for you, though.
