A Flatpak runtime is basically a complete operating system. GNOME and KDE have their own and from what I remember each weighs about 1 GB.
While I like containerization for security and solving dependency issues this is not a future I want.
Add to that that even on fully permissive mode you can't reference binaries in the typical places (without a reasonable error message too) and you could say I feel pretty burned by Flatpak.
- freedomben 6y agoI tend to agree. The majority of my tools I want to have full access (as the user executing the command) to the filesystem. Being forced into only flatpak would be a nightmare. But then there are a few apps that I would really like to have containerized. My browser is a big one. I also use Kdenlive and OBS for some things. Those would be great to have sandboxed. I hope there's a future with both.
