Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    As everything in life, yes, there is downside. Major downside is that it can occupy more space in your hd or ssd.

    However I think the downsides are not that bad to justify all the hatred some guys have.

    Flatpak positive sides are way more relevant then the downsides
