A lot of flatkill.org’s statements are made to incite fear in the Linux community. Given that all Flatpak packages and application build scripts are available and able to be edited by anyone, the appropriate response is to educate on why this is a problem, and then fix it. The way that flatkill.org approached this issue says a lot.

Hi,

This is a direct response to flatkill.org 2020.

I’ve heard a lot of misinformation about Flatpak spread by the community and by a website called flatkill.org. I took the time to write my own response with the help of Flatpak contributors and developers to debunk the claims of flatkill.org to stop the spread of false information.

    I have no technical knowledge on flatpaks, maybe someone can confirm isn’t sand boxing it provides fine for non crucial / system apps like games fine ?

    I do wish there was more repositories than flathub however especially because they do not separate non-free apps. I also wish flatpak had dedicated gui app for repo and update management, launching apps etc.

        GNOME Software is one of the only GNOME apps I dislike, it often does not work or loads slowly and uses a lot of memory and the interface is not up-to-date :(

        But functionally it would work… What I wish for is Lutris getting flatpak support or preferably brand new app launcher focused on flatpak.
