    Awesome, that was a huge stain for me when I was still using it as my main PW manager. Been waiting for this news for a few years now haha

      Ok but it’s an extra option for people who would like to use it. Why get angry at that?

        I didn’t say “everyone who uses it should eat shards of glass”.

        If people enjoy it, go ahead. I’m just not one of them

      Why? Flatpak doesn’t seem bad in my experience, except for downloading extra dependencies per program.

        I’ve never had a single flatpak program work properly. FP definitely is a super tiny bit better than snap, but they both just absolutely not work for me in any program I ever used it with

          Strange, I use Flatpak for a lot of things including Firefox. Might be an issue with your Linux installation or drivers.

        They’re actually very bad.

        Care to elaborate? They seem to be working great for myself and family.

          Not OP, but what annoys me are permission issues. I installed a program that couldn’t access a specific folder and it took me quite a while to find out that this is not an issue of the app, but the flatpak didn’t have this directory in its whitelist.

          Also, when one flatpak should interact with another flatpak, it gets messy (e.g. steam/mangohud).

            That’s fair but it’s also one of the biggest selling points for me. The isolation it provides is one of the reasons I’d rather ran applications in Flatpak (if possible).

              I love the security aspects and it’s about time that desktop apps cannot access all your files & apps.

              But the implementation is IMO improveable. Maybe by the makers of flatpak, maybe by the app developers. A simple Error message like this one would have helped:

              Error: Cannot access directory /data, please grant the permission by following these steps (…)

                This falls on the app developers. They’re supposed to be using something called XDG desktop portals. It opens a filepicker window on the host, the user selects which file they want, and that specific file gets passed through into the sandbox automatically, no permissions needed. Though it’s not perfect either – AFAIK there’s no way to pass though a directory using XDG portal, and drag-and-drop is broken (at least on X11). For command-line apps (tho it’s not really what flatpak was designed for), the equivalent is the --file-forwarding option.

              That’s why i use flatpak Firefox for browsing and non flatpak librewolf for running html games, as Firefox wouldn’t load images into the html due to permissions

            Valid complaints. I can see the first and last issue being addressed at some point, not sure what they could do about storage space.

      That’s misleading. Their SDK which is used to build their enterprise product is no longer open source. You can still compile the main version without it.

      There was a period where you couldn’t, but it was a bug that has now been fixed.
