I’m contemplating whether it would be “cleaner” to leave my Debian system exactly the way it is after the default installation and add all additional software as flatpaks, or if I should let the package manager handle all installations even if I have to add third party repositories for it, or if I should strip it down to a base system with just the core of Gnome and use flatpaks for all userspace programs, or simply do without software that isn’t in the Debian repos…
Yeah… Flatpaks are nice, but slow and sometimes broken (I guess mostly depending on how the rest of your system looks like.) On the other hand, I hate adding 3rd party repositories; it feels weird and messy. It’s a complex matter indeed.

Yes, I’m autistic, how did you guess?
