I agree, and for me its irrelevant because I will figure out how to make any software I need to use work. Flatpak, snap, aptget, straight from github, whatever, I don't mind. I'll figure it out.
But for some one who has very little patience for figuring it out, I really need a solution that for them 'just works'.
That pretty much is flatpak (snap too but proprietary sets bad precedent). Install it, have shop, click install, it works. Used to be more of a hassle from what I hear but its easy now.
The issue for example with ubuntu is that they push snap so hard that flatpak integration seems kinda broken. If you use discover on kde/debian its like flatpak is just part of the ui. Iβm gonna make a video in a couple of days just to show how easy it is. Updates too.
Oh i'd love to see it please share when you do.
Will try to remember. You can follow me on peertube (from mastodon, no idea if lemmy works yet) if you dont want to miss it. https://peertube.giftedmc.com
Edit: I checked. You can actually follow a peertube account from lemmy. Should work if you put https://peertube.giftedmc.com/c/haui777 in your searchbar. Takes a bit until it federates though.
