Got a minute?

I'd love to know how many of you use #Flatpak apps on Ubuntu (or any Ubuntu flavors).

Really appreciate all the feedback! I’m interested to know because it’s been pointed out to me that a lot of the apps I cover of late are only officially available on Flathub, which not everyone uses. If the majority of readers are using Flatpak they’re likely to be using Flathub, so it’s not a major issue. But if no one is using them I should maybe rethink or keep those apps as omglinux topics. Now I’m waffling, but that’s the background to asking

@omgubuntu I prefer old fashioned installs to save space mostly, but not to the point where I prefer adding third party PPAs for every app. It becomes too messy.

I have no preference between Flatpak and Snap, and use both on both Fedora and Ubuntu. If people want to make a principled stand how to install their software they should be capable of tracking it down on github and compiling it themselves. For the rest of us, a flatpak link is useful.
