Response to “Flatpak Is Not the Future”

>> Flatpak wants to download 3D drivers, patented video codecs, themes, locales, Qt 5, KDE 5, GTK 3, ICU, LLVM, ffmpeg, Python, and everything else in org.kde.Platform, all to run a calculator.

Flatpak is a scourge, wasteful, and a constant security headache. I would invest great effort in removing it from my life.

But let ke tell you how I really feel...
