- mtgx 10y agoIf they have Gnome 3.20+, it should work on them. Unlike Snappy, flatpaks require Wayland, which means they won't have the security issues that snappy apps will (with X11): https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/42320.html https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/42320.html
- takluyver 10y agoSo if you're using Wayland, they're equally secure, and if you're using X, you can use snappy but not flatpak? That doesn't seem like a great point for adoption of flatpak.
