Why all the down votes?

1 - bloat
2 - click-bait title

I agree with others that the source article is using a click-bait title convention unnecessarily, but I disagree that the tool is bloatware.

I use tmux and vim for the vast majority of my daily tasks, and I still recognize the benefit of having GUI options for others.

I’ll never understand why some in our community show so much disdain for software contributions made by voluneers simply because it doesn’t directly benefit them.

I read “fans” as in these nice things that blow air… And I was wandering what “flatpak fans” were… I’m definitely getting old and tired.

so… it’s a package manager?

Some FOSS communities might benefit from a “link only to source” rule, i wonder if this will be published as a link to github with a descriptive title this will get upvoted.

Cool? But I think some package managers can already do this once you add the appropriate repos. I know fedora can, and it handles updates too.
