- everybodyknows 6y agoAny suggestions on distros that play well with Flatpak? The org itself presents only a flat list — of many icons: https://flatpak.org/setup/ https://flatpak.org/setup/
- AdmiralAsshat 6y agoFedora, Mint, eOS. Basically anything that's not Ubuntu.
- grawprog 6y agoI've used a Ubuntu based os for years. I don't think I've ever had an app that uses flatpak. I have several snaps installed though. I have to admit though, I can't stand the way the snap folder defaults to a non-hidden folder in your home directory with no easy way to change this.
- Jaxkr 6y agoAre you mixing up Flatpak and Snap? Ubuntu supports snap by default and it’s much more feature rich [1]. I found the ability to install JetBrains products through Snap particularly delightful (they don’t support flatpak).

- input_sh 6y agoNo I'm not. Ubuntu does use Snap, but distros based on top of Ubuntu (like elementary OS or Linux Mint) come with Flatpak instead. So I'll always take something based on Ubuntu rather than vanilla Ubuntu.
