From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is being done to make Flatpaks better integrate into the system (self.linux)

For example, theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly. Another thing is QT Theming, why is it outside of KDE you can't use the breeze style? It's the best and most consistent application style for QT apps. And the final point, when is the naming scheme of org.foo.bar going to be fixed to be the actual name of the package rather than the technical name. Flatpak remove and flatpak install both work without giving the full name, so why doesn't flatpak run? The naming is the only thing snaps have over flatpak. If nothing is been done how can I contribute?

better documentation eg: of cli commands would be an essential first step.

I add --help to commands and it seems pretty good, what's missing?

is a bit daunting. some context: im not personally complaining. im not even using linux right now.

but back when i did uae flatpak.. i found digging in to the internals to be something more aimed at experienced developers or package maintainers. and maybe thats not such a bad thing. but.. modern linux systems are complicated when based on frameworks where things can break for obscure reasons.
