Addenum to my @LAS talk!
I don't think people realized that #flatpak next basically fixes everything. Browsers will use their own sandboxes, steam, password managers, etc.
And a new VPN portal. All of the razorburn goes away.
All we need to do is gather a bunch of #rust nerds.
I would like too amend my statement: "The gamer kids and the rust kids will save Linux, and the ops people will help them succeed."

I see the slides in the talk make repeated mention of creating systemd services. What does this mean for distros that use flatpak but don't have systemd?
@2something @LAS I don't know, ask them?
@jorge@hachyderm.io @LAS@floss.social
I'm asking for clarification: Will Flatpak Next/Flatpak 2 depend on systemd?
@2something @LAS Are you serious? Of course.
@jorge @2something @LAS As a GNU Guix System user Flatpak has allowed me to access a wider collection of software that is not packaged in the distro that would’ve been difficult to get running otherwise as Guix is very different and pre-built binaries not specifically made for Guix typically don’t work here, while Flatpak provides the same environment as anywhere else. If Flatpak will soon hard-depend on systemd in order to work, however, Flatpak would not work on GNU Guix any more as Guix uses GNU Shepherd rather than systemd (this will never change). Which means that for me as well as any other Flatpak user in a similar situation the Linux Desktop experience will get worse, not better, as a result of this change…
@kimapr @LAS @2something Why are you complaining to me? Your computer is your business.
@jorge @LAS @2something Because you seem to be involved in Flatpak development, and want to change Flatpak in a way that will negatively impact me. But I am pretty sure your reply is made in bad faith and thus will not engage any more. Peace.
@jorge @2something @LAS I suggest you to look and compare the amount of engagement on my reply to yours that i originally replied to (for this you should use “view on remote instance” button next to my post as hachyderm does not show an accurate count for it). I believe they call this phenomenon “ratio” on the social media website twitter dot com.
@kimapr @LAS @2something People are going to build what they want if you want something else go contribute it.
