It isn't, because you can't have FlatPak packages available to users on the same basis as snap packages. Meanwhile Canonical continues to cannibalize apt packages and replace them with snaps.
- necovek 4y agoEven that does not seem to be true. Yes, they are not installable by default, but after the initial setup, you should be able to use them just like anywhere else. In no way can anyone claim that this equates to "banning" Flatpak. I dislike the move away from apt packages as well, but false reporting has never brought any goodwill or progress.
- angry_octet 4y agoWhat part of removing Flatpak integration packages from repos is not true? If there's any false reporting it's from that absurdly positive Register article, which simultaneously set out to say Flatpak wasn't very good anyway and couldn't be installed without a GUI. Snaps have become a disaster because of Canonical mismanagement and now they want to lock users into using snaps.
