Flatpak is a solution as much as putting duct tape on a leaky pipe is. If distros ever really try to push this down my throat, I'll just go back to Windows. If I'm forced to support bloat, at least I can also easily use proprietary bloat too when I need/want to.
@alyx Yeah, fuck that. RAM is cheap, so gimme static compiled binaries ffs. How hard can it be?
Or AppImage, whatever.
In both cases it's a liability issue, because if an included library has a vulnerability, the static binary or the entire AppImage need to be updated and a new version of the application should be announced and released. From this point of view working with dynamically linked binaries, and thus packages is beneficial.
