    Let’s see if the flatpak ideas about sandboxing being pushed down our throats actually prevent these abuses or not…

        More so, if it is easily sandboxed, it should just be a webapp. Which discord already is.
        Just use the website.

        Browsers are already easily themed, have plenty of tools to change deeper functionality, and are way more sandboxed than any other app packaging ecosystem.

          Everything is ever so slightly broken in a way that I just can’t ignore. Personalization doesn’t quite work. Permissions are overwhelming and usually lead to silent failures. Integration with the rest of the system is weak at best.

            so problems from programs that don’t support flatpak, not flatpak fault, because everything you said is supported

            Everything is ever so slightly broken in a way that I just can’t ignore.

            this isn’t even caused by flatpak, it’s the app fault

              I don’t care whose fault it is, it’s obnoxious and I don’t want to bother with it. Lately though, it seems like everything is only being released as a flatpak app despite those issues.
