The whole point of flatpaks is isolation thougheverbeit.
I've been using it for literally years now.

Also the flatpak version doesn't randomly break due to glibc kvetching. All the retarded posts about muh segfaults or whatever never happened to me once, because the flatpak version is objectively superior.

yeah lol I found out it was maintained by some jeet Pakistani kid

linux is malware. you should wipe your disk and install windows.

Flatpak is made by Redhat
Try AppImage

Can't go wrong with the authentic DEB.

>>106280969
more like flatpaki

>>106280519 (OP)
Unofficial doesn't mean malware
Steam flatpak is very well-known and safe, even has their own github
If something this popular had malware it wouldn't be up on flathub

Source?

>>106281114

>>>/pol/
Go, now

>>106281130
What could you have against redhat if it isn't their company values and policies, or things like wayland?
Even if it is about their technologies, /g/ always makes it about muh wayland trannies and le based chud x11

>I don't like things made by a company of my political views, so you're the political one for calling that out even doe I'm the one making it political by going back from just caring about software to those behind it

>>106281171
Look at the thread. You're the only one who said anything political. Maybe try being a better human bean o algo.

Pakistan won. India lost.

gib exe

>>106281199
That's basically what AppImage is

>>106280519 (OP)
Fuck you and fuck your soijack thread

>>106281374
Think different

>>106281171
X11 is also Redhat just as much as Wayland is btw.

>>106280519 (OP)
If it doesn't have a .deb, an appimage, a docker image, or a very straightforward manual to compile it, I just don't install it.

>>106280519 (OP)
you can not uninstall a malware, sweety

>>106281085
>Unofficial doesn't mean malware
It means it can turn into malware at relatively low reputational cost and with low legal liability.

That's why community maintained software is a liability and you should only use commercial software.

>>106280519 (OP)
This is why you only ever install things in a VM

Akebi....

The only official nu-package manager Steam is Snap, and it's Official Canonical not Valve.
The only Valve approved Steam is their .deb file.
Official repositories in Arch/Gentoo are okay, but it pulls in a bunch of 32bit dependencies that would be better for Flatpak bundling unironically.
Slackware had AlienBob, which is trustworthy.
