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.

    The verbosity problem can actually be fixed relatively easily, Flatpak maintains a directory with “exports” you can add to your $PATH to launch binaries directly. A bunch of them export their binaries as com.example.Application (which still beats flatpak run com.example.Application) but others simply export themselves like normal Linux applications.
