Because at least with flatpak I don’t end up with app files littering my system and personal folders.

macOS’s application format used to be the best. It’s kind of a mess now with half of apps following xdg, some writing to the app folder, some application support and some iCloud Drive.

But it used to be good.

A clean home directory is the best selling point for me with flatpaks
