Comment on My least favorite thing about Flatpak

  Believe me, even after 28y using Linux this is a tough one.

  Is flatpack another package manager like snap with it’s own dependency hell?

    Yeah. . . basically lol, I only use it for a handful of things, Bottles (To run windows software and non-steam games in a sandbox), discord-screenaudio (To easily stream movies and shows to friends who refuse to leave discord.), and Protontricks (To VERY easily install mods for steam games that have a .exe installer).

    Seriously Protontricks is amazing, no more extracting exe files to install mods just a simple

    protontricks -c ‘wine ~/Downloads/nameOfModOrPatchToInstall.exe’ steamid#forgame

    and you click through the installer like you’re on windows.
