Phew, now that that's taken care of...
Today I realized Flatpaks have an advantage over statically-linked apps: it's easier/simpler to de-duplicate the statically-linked dependencies, so that's pretty neato.
But Flatpaks are just not good especially when it comes trying to get software to function for the "general public" without requiring them to know how a sandbox works, use the terminal, write executable scripts, or unsandboxing the entire app.
No thanks. We can do better.
