If flatpak didn't make me put the entirety of KDE onto my system (thats an exaggeration but you know what I mean) I'd gladly crown it king of the package managers.

Plus make it hell on earth to a) access drives other than the one flatpak is installed on, b) interoperate with non-flatpak applications, and c) retain any amount of free space on my drives (exaggeration for effect).

Yeah, flatseal should come stock with flatpak IMO. You will have to configure many apps to get them to play nice with your system.

This is a "security" feature and I'm so tired of it. Same thing with Wayland, random crap doesn't work sometimes

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Wayland is trying to replace a standard that people have been saying is obsolete for a decade. I'll give them a bit of leeway.

Psst .. the first KDE app you installed via your package manager also put "the entirety of KDE" onto your system.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

i don't think I use any kde apps on my system at all

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

At least if you install other apps you already have KDE. If you install another Flatpak, it's likely this will need another version of the KDE runtime, so it's 2.5 more GB for a 450kB application.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Indeed. As much of how loved and popular KDE is, fuck it. I use the glorious XFCE. XFCE is beautiful too. Fuck, I'm not the maniac who would waste 2GB just for my DE to look beautiful.

Flatpak does not install KDE by default. It is only required if you install a KDE app. You can hardly blame it if you do that.
