zingo,

“Core apps” are better on baremetal for seamless system integration.

Just use flatpaks for everything else.

dino,

Never use flatpaks for stuff available in your packet manager…

Jonnsy,

Why not aren’t flatpaks safer. I removed firefox on tumbleweed and installed the flatpak because its updated faster.

RageAgainstTheRich,

You’re right. Don’t listen to the dumbdumb.

I like Bottles. Makes Wine less of a hassle.

henfredemars,

I use flatpak for virtually everything because sandboxing your applications from each other and from your private data is a great idea to improve your system security. This helps prevent one compromised app from taking actions that affect the rest of your system.

For example, I have the VLC flatpak and used flatseal to revoke internet access because I only use it to play files. If a file tries to exploit VLC, it will not be able to upload any data or communicate with the attacker’s servers. I revoke any permissions my apps don’t actually need.

There are a few exceptions though. I run development and administrative tools directly because I do actually want unrestricted access to the system for these apps.

lemmyvore,

But what if someone attacks a development tool!

The one that causes dependency version conflicts when installed normally

proprietary software that I don’t trust, or programs that aren’t on zypper
