Flatpak 1.0 Released, Ready for Prime Time
Packaging was a solved issue in Linux, congrats on the 3 steps back.<p>The rush towards containers because they&#x27;re &quot;easy&quot; strikes yet again.<p>My fear is that the handful of companies that build packages for their desktop apps with abandon them and move to Flatpak&#x2F;Snap. From the Flatpak docs it looks like anyone and everyone can just get access, even if you don&#x27;t own the thing you&#x27;re packaging. So if you pack $newpopularsoftware first you can now install malware on everyone&#x27;s computers with a single push.<p>It&#x27;s like they looked at everything bad about Chocolatey&#x2F;NPM&#x2F;pip&#x2F;AUR and just ran with it.
