As a user I couldn’t care less.
- pmontra 4y agoWell, if I understood the point correctly and if it happens too often, it could become too much of a burden (as in not enough sales to make it worthwhile.) Developer might end supporting only one runtime, deprecate and put out of support all the old ones. That's a problem for users and eventually for developers too: it they don't know how to create a release for everybody, they won't.
- parineum 4y agoExactly. A lot of Linux users grouse about people not wanting to use their favorite OS but they don't do it because a bunch of perfectly well built software may or may not run depending on some under-the-hood voodoo magic they don't understand and can't fix. Flatpaks fix that. If the pack is well built, it'll work. If it's from a reputable source, it's probably well built.
