No snaps is good but
1. Slack is a snap. Do you have to run it in the browser? I don't know if desktop sharing works well there, it's been years since I only used their app (Electron?)
2. Is flatpack optional or are there some mandatory flatpack apps that are part of the system? I'd like a deb only system.
3. Contrary to some of us I don't want to use a tiling window manager. Can I keep using my heavily customized Gnome Shell or do I have to use whatever System 76 created for Pop_OS?
- czx4f4bd 4y ago1. There's a Slack flatpak based on the .deb distribution. You could also install the .deb directly from Slack. 2. I'm not sure how mandatory flatpak is. I suspect it's optional, but I'd suggest testing removal on a non-essential install before committing to it. 3. The tiling feature is completely optional and can be disabled easily in the settings.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoFlatpak is optional, it's just setup out of the box so if you want to flatpak install stuff it just works. Their app center also shows flatpaks but has a drop down where you can pick either the deb or flatpak version if both are available. And the tiling extension is off by default. It's just a little toggle in the (very nice) settings dialog to turn it on or off. You can totally uninstall it too as it's just a regular gnome extension (and you can even install it right now on non-pop gnome 3 systems).
