And also all the other improvements of the Linux world : Vulkan, KDE/Gnome, Wayland, Pipewire, Wine, Proton, Valve, Flatpaks.

        It’s much safer. It’s just not perfect, and critics seem to imply a lack of perfection is a knock against it.

          I disagree with those critics that moving to flatpak is somehow worse than distro repos. At the same time, flatpak and docker are not the endgame. We know that a better way is possible (take a look at BSD jails for an example), it will just take linux another couple decades to get there as it always does.

            The goals of the two technologies are fundamentally different. Jails are closer to Linux’s firejails or bubble wrap, or perhaps even LXC and Docker.

            Flatpak is primarily for software distribution.
