For the past several months no one could install flatpaks from our Trade-Free TROMjaro app Library - https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - and now we finally fixed it thanks to @Rokosun ! One click installs 😀

We have curated around 700 trade-free apps for the library and we plan to add a lot more the following months. Check it out!

Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

This blog post on #Flatpak nicely illustrates the importance of #distributions (#Debian, #Guix, #Homebrew ...):
- integration of many components into a working system
- interface between developers and users

Developers short-circuiting distributions by proposing fat binaries (#Docker, #Flatpak, ...) deprive themselves of valuable feedback.

Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak

I feel, I can't recommend #Ubuntu anymore.
The fact that they are pushing #Snap is the reason.
One of the reasons is, that Snap gives a bad user experience. Snaps are really slow at startup and sometimes you have to launch them twice before they open, sometimes it just doesn't open at all.

I understand that using Snap is much easier, since you make one package , that runs everywhere, and I'm all for it! #Linux has been needing something like Snap and #Flatpak for a long time and now they are finally here. But pushing a product which doesn't work well is what I don't like about it.

Flatpak works much better and more smoothly than Snap does. Another thing about Snap I think they should be fixing is the centralization around Snapcraft - make it possible for others to set up repositories.

I think many people are having the same opinion, so hopefully (for themselves) #Canonical can learn and change the issues before Snap goes to 0. If they don't, then eventually more apps will come to #Flathub instead of #Snapcraft.
