Garuda. I wish the base install of wine actually worked, and that half the packages in chaotic-aur weren’t buggy as fuck or just completely non functional.
Just different but also just sane default configuration. But after install then it’s just Arch - namely your AUR won’t break, and if it breaks, it will break on normal Arch install as well.
Anyway, I would say both are 99% there and are my favorite way of installing Arch
It’s just there’s a severe lack of communication regarding it. I’ve never seen a single flatpak app mentioned in their videos, posts, or documentation. I’m sure since it’s based on Ubuntu the package exists but it seems like they aren’t on board with flatpak generally. I’ve seen mention of getting snaps and they have an app store but there’s no flatpak support on it.
I don’t mind the terminal but a graphical interface would be much preferred.
Canonical makes Ubuntu, and also the Snap Package Manager. They’ve been trying to push Snap for years, which is why Flatpak is an alternative to Snap. You won’t find Canonical/Ubuntu docs spreading Flatpak.
Right, but just because you have people maintaining the project, it’s still based on Canonical’s Ubuntu, therefore Snap by default. Take it up with their community if you don’t like that, that’s the point of community outreach.
I’m not saying I have any problem with it, it’s their work after all. I was just asking a question since I couldn’t find anything that clarified the project’s position. And tbh I would feel very uncomfortable entering their channels, asking if they support flatpak and then leaving. So I figured I would ask on lemmy and leave the information for all who were equally curious.

You know back in the day they used to sell Linux distributions on the shelf at software stores. I remember seeing a boxed copy of mandriva next to windows. Home computing used to be a hobby for some but that means there was commercial support at some point.
I do think that home users of “Linux” will need a commercial alternative that supports all their apps. ChromeOS looks like the current best alternative. If you can get people into chrome books, you’re one step closer to getting them onto Linux.
I’ve also had massive issues with the GTX660, up to the point of complete computer freeze and pressing the hardware shutdown button, as risky as doing that on a consistent basis is. Never again did I use Linux up until I went AMD.
Luckily for me, I’m on an Ubuntu derivative. So apt upgrade just does it. Sorry, OP, works for me in my preferred way, I don’t need any flatpacks. Let’s hope once they do one they keep building .debs nonetheless.
Flatpaks work just as well. It is an electron app, that causes all the bloat. Signal is modern and everything apart drag&drop and maybe a tray icon (havent tried that) works.
