Yeah I knew about flatpak but it also has its downside.

When I used it, it break many things. Some app would have weird behavior, theming would break, app wouldn’t open.

Then you get, for those peasant like me who have very slow internet, a 1 hour to download a app that would otherwise take 30 seconds because flatpak download lots of other stuff.

I get why flatpak is great, it’s like docker or python environment, but as usual with Linux it’s more like a developer thing and a recipe for headache and frustration to the average computer user.
