Still some work to have proper confinement in practice for apps in the Flatpak ecosystem.

Flatpak is at a crossroad I'd say. The project really needs to find a way to move forward.

A good reminder that Flatpak is no silver bullet. It's a bit of a rant at times still it has some good points in particular the security implications are not always properly conveyed to the users. Some thinking might be required regarding what's lost compared to "traditional" packaging approaches.

This looks like a move in the right direction regarding desktop portals on Linux.

A little collection of dirty tricks that you should probably not use on Flatpak installs.

This is a bit of a rant but that summarizes quite well why I fail to fall in love with snap, flatpack and the likes. Everytime I tried to use one of those I ended up with GBs of extra runtime to deal with and the security arguments are frankly debatable... I wish the LSB wasn't defunct.
