What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?
Flathub aims to be the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.
How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

I love the idea and the philosophy behind ! I have no trouble with them for now, one click install perfect.
However I’ll never use it for programming and I don’t understand why people use vs code flatpak or other coding app, because the app is contained and cannot interact with your system.
@Shareni@programming.dev @CeeBee@lemmy.world thanks for the resources I did not know. I was pretty confused it was not possible to do it and here you are thx ! :)

It can. Think of it like allowing a phone app to interact with your stored files.

That's not how it works. Install Flatseal and you can give it fine grained access to whatever you want, or just everything.
