@mischievoustomato the priorities seem a bit scrumbled because they're trying to hook it in to the whole wayland/pipeware thing which in turn is there to cram gnome, but like
Elementary i think rebuilt their app store on flatpak now. They just manage the hub a little more intently. :comfyshrug:
@icedquinn@mischievoustomato i look if something exists in nixpkgs then look for docker. It couldn't be more hassle free but comes at the cost of storage.
@GNUxeava@mischievoustomato i think this is more of a lack of coordination issue. docker can absolutely waste as much space as flatpak but people do a slightly better job reusing base images.
@GNUxeava@mischievoustomato it isn't. people go use what base image was there at the time, build their Flatpak, and publish it on flathub. The common base image is a snapshot of Fedora. Fedora gets tumbled every six months.
The problem is using a semi rolling release as a base image and then only rebuilding the packages on a new release of the software (if they even update the sdk.)
You can entirely botch the job like this with docker and in the same way.
