Message: [QUOTE="SpikeSlania, post: 175574, member: 300252"] It varies. I feel like I'm saying that a lot when it comes to Linux :P On Arch you are relying on other users and community members to package programs. Like the only official version of Steam on Linux is Debian, every other package is a community driven package so there will be times when say the Arch package is broken while every other version is working. With Flatpak though you can have the official program developers packaging it and releasing it through Flathub. They find it a lot easier to just have to support one package and it works on all distros. So a lot of times when people have issues with the program and they ask the developers to help they just respond with use the official flatpak version since that's the only one they support. With SNAPs and Fedora Flatpak it's all their own community packaging the programs and not the official package so your mileage will vary. And yes, there's at least 2 different Flatpak repos that I know of, Fedora Flatpak and Flathub with most people luckily using Flathub and not Fedora Flatpak. Sometimes it is better to find out what package the developer of the program you're using officially supports. [/QUOTE]
