Edge-Linux Flatpak Beta - Unofficial

nycnikato "I am hopeful that Microsoft will officially support Flatpak."

I am, too.  The Edge-Linux Flatpak team has requested Microsoft involvement, but I don't know how that will turn out.

"There is no need for multiple package formats for Linux any longer. Flatpak works everywhere."

I agree.  As you know, there is considerable difference of opinion in the Linux community about Flatpaks and Snaps, but I've come to the point where I prefer to install a Flatpak (rather than a distro-specific package) whenever I am adding software, if a Flatpak exists.  Because Flatpaks are universal, self-contained and containerized to an extent, I've experienced better success with them than distro packages.  It seems to me that Flatpaks (and Snaps, too, although I don't use them) eliminate a lot of wear and tear on distro mods, who otherwise have to try to keep a lot of packages up to date.
