The idea of contained apps on Linux is for sure the future. It is a thousand times better than what we normally have now. And yes these contained apps can be huge, tho some libraries can be shared....however knowing that if you install this X app as flatpak (contained) will guarantee to work, is pure bliss. It is so much easier. Click install, done. Unlike via repos where you also have to install a ton of other dependencies and at times these dependencies conflict with other packages....it can be hell...
BUT
These contained apps must be respectful to you and your system. They MUST respect the theme, font style, and window decorations. Else they are 100% cunts. And we can't have that! And right now flatpaks (the perhaps future of apps packaging on Linux) do not play well with this.
As soon as flatpaks respect the user and their choices, I will give them a serious try. And maybe in the future TROMjaro can rely on flatpaks. But right now despite them being contained and functional, I cannot use a thousand themes and styles and window decorations on a single system.
I hope they fix that mess....
