Yeah canonical is not too fond of error checking. I dropped ubuntu because it was calling sysv style init scripts from systemd unit files and not checking for errors (similar to what you can see for lxc here https://github.com&#x

To me most Ubuntu things like LXD, Mir, snap feels like it was made by someone who did not understand the existing solutions and could not be bothered to understand it. There may be some points where LXD is "better" (they keep bri

I run inkscape from flatpak in my makefiles so it is not that bad.

Seems like a pretty good idea, and it would be a nice if someone added this functionality to flatpak. I am still happy that flatpak is there because it is better than nothing and for most apps I use it with the permissions is exactly as I e

I use fedora. The inkscape that comes with fedora was missing some functionality last I tried to use it, can't recall exactly what now.

It is sandboxed, sandboxed in this context just does not say anything about filesystem access. But it still says something about how it is running and again most people would exect something like gimp to have access to the host filesystem w

If I could get the same things from distro I would maybe be more inclined to use distro packages, but in many cases I cannot. My distro either does not have the things I use from flatpak or have them with some deficiency (like older version

Sometimes the easy way is all that there is capacity for. So I agree there are potentially better ways but IMO the world is better off with flatpak and docker than without them and we are free to still investigate and try better ways with a

Currently I happily use flatpak for Slack, Teams, Bitwarden, Spotify, Geeqie, Zotero, Inkscape and other things. The options here are: 1. Run those things directly as OS packages or sometimes AppImages or just precompiled binaries. 2. Run t

I am quite happy that the topmost comment on a misleading post clarifies it. Clarity is good. So I guess I for one am happy someone did not let it go.
