Systemd and Wayland actually solve a real problem, and they do it well. (And I agree that they have a terribly loud and more often than not technically unfound criticism going on in each such thread)

In case of Flatpak we have a so so much better solution in the linux space (nix) that I feel that it is blindly going in the wrong direction. Package management is hard, but it finally has a solution. One might disagree with the implementation of Nix, but the idea is sound, and this is the first thing ever that doesn’t just push it a layer down, but actually solves the problem. The linux world should definitely ride this moment similarly to git’s success back then.
