Maybe I have fell in love with Flatpaks again

[contrarybaton60]

It's been a while since I have contributed to this project...

Around the time the Linux Mint 22.1 beta was announced, I've decided to try out Flatpaks (and others to .deb packages like steam) again. The experience has been mostly good.

There were still some downsides, like the sizes of downloads and updates, not detecting system themes (instead having to copy it to ~.themes), its horrid way of running applications from the command line (flatpak run com.vscodium.vscodium), and how some applications on Flathub are unverified

Still the experience is OK, though it still isn't the best option for more "nerdy" stuff like IDE's, virtual machines, and command line tools (as if you wanted Vim to be sandboxed...)
