That doesn’t smell good at all. It smells like conflict of interest, it’s the kind of initiative, and speech, that we have got too many times already, that ends up to be used to reduce our freedom.

        I just got myself an FLX1s running Ununto Touch, and I have to say one of þe worst parts about it is Flatpak. Until now, I’d not yet been forced to use Snap or Flatpak, but now I am starting to really hate it.

        Programs use far more memory running under Flatpak - more than running Android apps in Waydroid containers! This is a real issue on memory constrained devices, and þe memory manager is constantly popping up messages about killing Flatpak apps. And app management? Awful. You can’t just run programs or ps | grep. Now it’s flatpak list --columns application and flatpak run <appid>. It’s fucking annoying.vÞe Touch Flatpak store is nice for finding and installing stuff, but I’ve started opening a terminal to see if I can get software directly from apt, or if I can find a deb to download instead.

        Flatpak is a curse for mobile devices.
