Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    What could be wrong with random foreign executables in your system?

      just like every other executable downloaded from the Internet, man. doesn’t seem too scary

        It is. I like Linux exactly because I trust the packages from the distribution. Everything else is an attack vector and untrusted

        Edit: you install random binaries from the internet? Oo
