I stopped using flatpak when I found out both I had to update outside of the package manager. Also using flatpak gave me some issues with my sound card, so I just run the .deb. To each their own though, which is why I love Linux.

Installing outside packages is generally not a good idea. You can use Distrobox with a upstream distro like Fedora or you can use Debian Back ports.

Had forgotten about backports. Need to get that set back up. Thank you for the reminder.
It is fairly easy to use
Again, not arguing against, just why I don’t…. You do you, I’m just talking about me. Just cause I don’t use something for some reason doesn’t make me anti that thing. Linux community can be so volatile sometimes
fair, that i heard so much shit about people hating flatpak when it can be very helpful for newcomers that it got to my head, sorry
It can be tough through words to understand intent sometimes, and I to write sarcastic and dry, so no problem.
Flatpak is helpful, it’s how I ran several programs before my work forced me to windows, it does have its place in the toolbox.
