Well if there’s an application that the developer only releases a flatpak for, do I have a choice in being one of those million if there’s no easy way to compile it myself? What if I’m a newbie linuxer and cannot get all the dev tools installed?
do I have a choice in being one of those million if there’s no easy way to compile it myself?
You always have a choice. Just yesterday, I had an app’s documentation say “install brew so you can download our application and themes”. I noped right out of there and found a different application altogether.
what’s your point? if flatpak makes it easier for developers to package their software and easier for users to install it, there’s nothing wrong with it being famous
It is saying that more than one million people are actively using Flathub. What do you mean by force?
