"The flatpak is easy," they said."The flatpak has no issues at all" THEY SAIDand then rpcs3 decided to go "I'm gonna ruin this whole man's career" and stop working.and for some reason the appimage has an issue with the sound not working if audio buffering is on... but not when compiled directly from source. hm.

@ThatOneSeong Flatpak may be the future but it is far from the present lol.

@foreverastudent@fosstodon.org I really prefer traditional package management. @ThatOneSeong@mstdn.games

@adiz I don't even use Flatpaks at the moment because of Nix, but I can acknowledge that it's where package management is headed for a large portion of the Linux space.

@foreverastudent@fosstodon.org I acknowledge that it's the direction Linux package management is heading. I'm not necessarily happy about it...but, it is what it is. Maybe it's for the best and I'm just being a curmudgeon.

It's depressing how much I see people relying on flatpak because the distro they use has crappy packaging. The main thing that keeps me coming back to Arch based distros is AUR. You pretty much never need flatpak because a ton of stuff is packaged, and if it's not, you just compile it yourself. In this screenshot, if I hit 1 it will download a regular prebuilt package based on the current git sources, or if I hit 2 it would download from git and do all the building on autopilot.

@adiz I'm in a similar position. As an Arch user before, and a Nix user now I am mostly indifferent to flatpaks as I don't use them at all. However, I acknowledge and understand the benefits to developers, and the overall Linux userbase that the Flatpak format provides. I think there's still room for traditional package management, especially in more niche cases with Nix, AUR, etc. But overall, flatpak should be the target for most people.
