Flatpak is kind of bringing the BSD mindset of base system versus end-user apps to Linux.

What must one not read. The reason is that FreeBSD develop and maintains the whole base system: kernel + system related frontend and because it’s a clean architecture. For the isolation they had jails before containers was a thing.

Flatpak was not about sandboxing, this aspect is quite recent. It is a response to how bad the CI-pseudoCD was for Gnome and to build/deploy apps based on gnome-stack easily. For proprietary product, I still have to see it a proprietary product not available outside flatpak…

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that Flatpak tackle the sandboxing question that was not what was sold previously. Also, I use official repos and mainly FOSS. Flatpak won’t prevent a supplychain attack. So my trust remains the main repos.

what does it mean for ?

or the AppImage? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/

I don’t get all the fuse about Flatpak. I does not solve anything for FOSS. Maybe for proprietary software and still… Steam/Microsoft/Google provide packages for most of the principal distro.
