Yeah updating flatpaks on the Steam Deck takes ages, and because of the way the SteamOS is set up - you really are incentivized to use flatpaks over actual packages (which could break with updates).
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agowhich kind of packs takes ages. I don't have this issue. There is no could break with updates. It is they will be wiped by an update. Install packages with distrobox.
- jeroenhd 4y agoUpdating Flatpaks takes a few seconds. The standard Discover application that comes with the KDE desktop environment is awfully slow, though. Running flatpak update or whatever the exact command line is in the terminal will be much faster than trying to go through the GUI. I've seen this happen before on a Kubuntu install and on an Arch VM, I think it may just be a Discover bug.
