For example, theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly. Another thing is QT Theming, why is it outside of KDE you can’t use the breeze style? It’s the best and most consistent application style for QT apps. And the final point, when is the naming scheme of org.foo.bar going to be fixed to be the actual name of the package rather than the technical name. Flatpak remove and flatpak install both work without giving the full name, so why doesn’t flatpak run? The naming is the only thing snaps have over flatpak. If nothing is been done how can I contribute?
This is “only on Linux that” part once again. I wasn’t comparing in the way you think, I’m comparing in the sense that cohesion and important details aren’t usually a thing when it comes to the desktop Linux experience.
Apple also has sandboxing on both iOS and macOS and this situations weren’t ever an issue because, back then in 2009, when they “developed” the technology they took their time to think about the implications and provide APIs and other ways to allow things to work. Flatpak is great, I use it and like it but it was also blunt “we just isolate things and fuck it” from the start.
