What’s wrong with that?
Not OP but I'd rather not deal with multiple application distribution methods. I'd rather package Boxes myself (I use NixOS BTW) than use Flatpak.
I do understand, NixOS is soo good, I hope it will be possible for packagers to package it for distros, although not as easily as before
I don't like flatpak and don't want it on my system.
Please elaborate why?
It doesn’t solve any problems that I have. It adds complexity.
Yeah so just subjective info, thanks for sharing.
