    I thought the com.flatpak.Appname came from Android, so I guess google is to blame?

    /var is really annoying, especially when partitioning, previously I could just have a /var partition, but now I need to do /var/log specifically

      I mean doesn’t that come from Java naming conventions? Which then makes sense that it continued on Android… but Why did it end up on FlatPack!?

        I will speculate to say that maybe someone looked at the java/android way and thought let’s just copy that.

        It’s the most plausible answer I can think of, without doing any research whatsoever

        It’s a nice way to get around naming collisions.
