    The few things I don’t like about flatpaks (which become a problem on atomic distros that use almost all flatpak by design):

    • Some types of embedded development is essentially impossible with flatpaks. Try getting the J-link software connected with nrftools and then everything linked to VScodium/codeoss

    • Digital signing simply doesn’t work, won’t work for the foreseeable future, and is not planned to get working,

    • Flatpaks sometimes have bugs for no reasons when their package-manager counterparts don’t (e.g. in KiCAD 8.0, the upper 20% or so of dialog boxes were unclickable with the mouse, but I could select and modify them with the keyboard, only the flatpak version)

    • The status on whether it is still being actively developed or not (at least I hear a fair amount of drama surrounding it)

    But besides those small things, it seem great to me.
