Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

You only need flatseal on GNOME. KDE has it baked into the settings

Kde has many things baked into the settings that gnome hasn't. GNOME is just more beautiful (and has PaperWM which is why I have to use GNOME)

Where in KDE are those settings? I see Flatpak permissions listed in Discover (bottom of right panel,) but you can't change them there. Not sure where else to look. I've been using Flatseal but if it isn't needed ...

Under the apps section, or just search "flatpak"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
