I hope more scrutiny is given to ID.me. I’ll only be using Direct File if they remove it as a dependency.

[QUESTION] Flatpak or AUR?

I’ve been using arch for a while now and I always used Flatpaks for proprietary software that might do some creepy shit because Flatpaks are supposed to be sandboxed (e.g. Steam). And Flatpaks always worked flawlessly OOTB for me. AUR for things I trust. I’ve read on the internet how people prefer AUR over Flatpaks. Why? And...

I use Silverblue and in general I like their philosophy. For other distros, it can be summed up as:

  • Flatpaks for GUI applications
  • Your choice of package manager for everything else

On Silverblue anything non-Flatpak is best installed inside a container. On a non-atomic distro I’d just install using the system’s default package manager.

Great post - I agree, Linux Mint or Ubuntu sound appropriate for OP. Solid systems with a lot of support.
