I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

    The steam deck uses KDE, so the most popular Linux desktop device is going to be showcasing what flatpak is(n’t) capable of.

    This is largely a problem thanks to the GNOME developers though, refusing to play nicely with anyone else and acting like their way is THE way.

      Oh without a doubt the Gnome devs are obnoxiously opinionated. Frankly I’d love to switch to something other than Gnome but I can’t do without that Pop Shell extension (tiling+stacking when I need it, “traditional” windows when I don’t) on multi-monitor setups.
