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? -

I'm asking for clarification: Will Flatpak Next/Flatpak 2 depend on systemd? -

@2something @LAS Are you serious? Of course.
@jorge@hachyderm.io @2something@transfem.social @LAS@floss.social 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...

@2something @LAS Are you serious? Of course.
@jorge @2something @LAS right, because that's obvious, even though flatpak currently doesn't, and it is the very reason those distros recommend flatpak over trying to wrangle snap into working

@jorge@hachyderm.io @LAS@floss.social So this is how Linux goes to die.

I would really rather it not, especially since systemd seems to endorse merging AI slop.

@2something @LAS Are you serious? Of course.
@jorge @2something @LAS oh ffs. Glad I decided to dive into BSD recently.

@kimapr @LAS @jorge @2something The solution here is to use a normal operating system.
