    Agreed, flatpaks are great for desktop apps. I use Nix for the majority of my packages, but I use flatpak for proprietary for the sandboxing.

      I honestly prefer Ansible. It can do lots of configuration and setup and install flatpaks.

        I honestly prefer Ansible.

        I use Ansible all day. For work. Oh, god, is it sad compared to everything else in the space. RedHat had the choice between two in-house products and they chose poorly.

        It can do lots of configuration and [set up] and install flatpaks.

        We had that 20 years ago, just with a different product. The state of the art is now two generations newer.

          Well I know Ansible and it works for my needs. I briefly used Nix and it was worse. Ansible is nice because you can just install ansible and then apply a playbook.
