Installing desktop application as flatpaks #483
-
|
Hey 👋🏻 Is it a good idea, for a post installation step, to uninstall all the desktop apps installed via package manager and install them via flatpak? I want more control when updating apps, I'd like to update the terminal apps separately from the desktop ones. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

If you want that division out of personal choice, that's fine; it's not such a foreign philosophy. But I think it can be useful to use flatpack only when necessary or when you want a more up-to-date version of the application. Otherwise, using packages on APT allows you to have stable and generally tested versions. Except for Snap. Snap is evil! 😄 |
