I don't understand what is the point of releasing an IDE via #flatpak, when that flatpak doesn't include all the necessary dev tools, and it can't access the ones outside its sandboxing. Honestly. What's the point? I'm looking at you, #Geany.
Personally, I can't stand flatpaks or #snap. #Appimage is nicer just because it's just one delete away from within the file manager and doesn't leave crumbs everywhere. But overall, I prefer #apt, and #dnf.
@gnomelibre @vwbusguy @wickedsmoke I usually install Linux for friends and family on old chromebooks that have 16 GB of storage. With Debian, one of the lighter ones, I get only 7 GB free after installation with XFce. I can't afford to install Flatpaks. Appimages are slightly smaller and in rare occasions that's ok. But .deb are much, much more better in this case. I just don't like the bloat of flatpaks, especially with only 50mbps internet in my area. Sorry, not a good alternative for me.
