While I don’t think flatpak shouldn’t replace traditional packages, I still like it.
Flatpak apps just work most of the time, they work without issues and are often very up to date. The sandboxing does have benefits because no apps interfere with it, the problem is that it doesn’t work super well with other apps, sometimes the theming is off, and it doesn’t work well with other apps, installing apps takes much longer, and it isn’t as easily started from the command line.
I use it for YouTube-dl, and it’s probably useful for programming too.
There is a command to let it access shared storage, use that before anything else.
Download it from f-droid. Play store build is broken.
