Im new to Linux and went with Mint. What is flathub? From the name it sounds like an app store or something
Edit: Nevermind. I clicked the link and saw. I was right its an app store
It’s an app store made for distributing Flatpak applications (desktop apps that work on every distro where Flatpak is installed, most distros install flatpak by default now). Flatpaks also allow isolation between apps and a fine permission system like you get on a smartphone (check out Flatseal for that)
If you got steam flatpk, flatseal will solve your issues!
I never looked into flatseal and I don’t have any issues with Steam. But I wonder if flatseal can allow a Flatpak Java application to run
systemctl poweroff.
Same, I’m using MX Linux with native .deb and never ever installed a flatpak, so I have no clue what it is
Would you recommend using it with Ubuntu?
I would recommend using it with any distro, it’s distro agnostic
Depends. Do you have knee highs?
It’s really good, the only thing I’d complain about is that sometimes it takes up large amounts of space. Aside from that it is not bad in the least
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
