Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    The downside is having to do that manually. Kind of ruins the whole point of it. Flatpaks will remain out-dated until the maintainer has time to push it out. Forever behind.

      There’s the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL{,32}.mesa-git runtime(?) so that seems wrong. What app always needs the latest snapshot mesa version anyway?
