Agreed, flatpaks are great for desktop apps. I use Nix for the majority of my packages, but I use flatpak for proprietary for the sandboxing.

What does uBlue switching away from it have to do with someone wanting to install it on Silverblue?
Nix is useful for CLI packages, which aren’t very simple to use through flatpak. It also has far more packages, and is very useful for creating development environments.
I see, I only use distrobox for building software that doesn’t easily run on NixOS, so that likely shouldn’t matter too much for me.
I have never heard of toolbx before, can anyone share how it compares to Distrobox? I’ve been using that for some time.
Bottles should make it really simple. You might run into the occasional problem with the installers, but they usually have workarounds.
Looks like it allows that using ollama
Edit: according a couple issues, the flag that allows this is being ignored…
It also says they’re going to be using Framework laptops which is equally cool!

I generally would for desktop use, and absolutely wouldn’t rexommend them for a new user.
