  • Ubuntu Flavors Decide to Drop Flatpak
    4 projects | /r/linux_gaming | 22 Feb 2023
    I don't mean "the flatpak package" (which, btw, I would not guarantee will remain and be well-maintained in the official repo as opposed to a PPA), I mean "flatpak builds of the flavor's internal packages" like settings and tweak tools. Imagine, for example, if Mint decided to follow suit and said that the only official way to install Timeshift was via snap. Sure, there would be unofficial builds--I myself have it installed from the AUR--but that comes with a certain expectation of additional jank.
