As a basis for the post title, I used the thumbnail “title” instead of the somewhat clickbaity title Nick used for the video.

For those who rather watch on Youtube for whatever reason: https://youtu.be/8yAo9Bc6iOI

    Maybe if Snap or Flatpak had a solution for downloading the same libraries for every package.

    It also brings up security issues. Instead of relying on 1 vulnerable package to be updated, I now have to make sure every single snap or Flatpak that uses that library is updated.

    This typically takes MUCH longer than waiting for the distro maintainers to patch a library. (Your milage may vary depending on the distro of course)

    Thanks for posting a better, more descriptive title than the original! And for including the YT link. TILVids doesn’t seem as accessible (lack of captions/subtitle) so having the option, although not idea, is better.

    I wish I could be all aboard with Flatpak, but I found out that there’s probably very few apps on there that actually works on a 32-bit OS (I’m trying to revive an old netbook). Probably part of that niche use case where Flatpak…falls flat[1]. So that netbook is stuck with the distro’s package maintainers.

    I do agree that there is a time and place for both the distro package managers and Flatpak/Snap and I wouldn’t want to see the former disappear completely. Even when Flatpak/Snap improves and have better coverage.
