    Investment is nice… but what are they actually investing in? Flatpak kinda works already. What are they planning on spending 500k on?

      These articles are meant to be read, that’s the premise of posting them.

      Flatpak is a mature project and the best option that exists on GNU/Linux today, but its security and sandboxing features still trail behind those of well-funded proprietary platforms such as Android and iOS.

              I uninstalled all of flatpak and never looked back. I love wasting gigabytes on duplicate dependencies just to run the two flatpak apps.

          That was part of the quote from the article, so I’m not sure why you’re responding to me about it.

              I’m not sure what I’m replying in regards to. I think I just wanted to be part of this.
