Flatpack isn't without its own quirks and flaws. There is no One True Way. Being open-source, there shouldn't be one.
It is definitely slow though, mostly on first run.
Yeah, that. That's exactly the problem. To quote @Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever above, who put it much better than I could:
When you speak of no single One True Way and things being completely open source, Canonical/Ubuntu have already left the chat.
There should be one way for sandboxed shit, since the alternative of package managers already exists
We don't need snap, app image, flatpak all to compete. We need shit that just works
There's a bunch of different package managers too. It all just kinda works.
Okay, we tried appimage and it didn't work, so the second iteration as flatpak is mostly functional
you don't need ENDLESS competition of formats
Gotta be honest, as a dev I tried to make a Flatpack of my app and gave up. Making a snap was much easier. Of course, I also offer it as a .deb, .rpm, Pacman package, etc. too
