For me on Arch, Flatpaks are kinda useless. I can maybe see the appeal for other distros but Arch already has up-to-date versions of everything and anything that’s missing from the main repos is in the AUR.
I also don’t like how it’s a separate package manager, they take up more space, and to run things from the CLI it’s flatpak run com.website.Something
instead of just something
. It’s super cumbersome compared to using normal packages.
The hardware survey doesn’t ask every single user, it just gets a sample. So it probably just happened to hit a few more Windows 7 people this month.
