    that’s far preferable tbh. i’m much more likely to try out some piece of software if it does not require sudo to install.

      If I ever publish a desktop programme, it will probably be like that TBH.

      Also IIRC Bottles only supports bug reports if they are reproducible in the Flatpak, which I think is a very reasonable way of handling it and would probably copy it.
      Chances are if the same version only has a bug when installed traditionally, you should be writing in Launchpad or something instead of the repo issue tracker.

      Well, sudo installing random .deb/.rpm packages is really bad practice. But I assume you trust the maintainers of the distro you are using.
