Haha, I break snap a lot less than the others, and it took a bit to figure out the differences. Appimages are annoying af. Flatpaks are my favourite when there isn’t a good old .deb. I recently broke Flatpak though so it’s on my naughty list. Snap still chugging along for some reason, I just wish the permissions weren’t so crazy strict (Nextcloud).

Speaking of all this, I realised I’ve accidentally installed some things twice. Is there a good way to list all the different package managers together to see what is duplicated?

How do you break a flatpak?

I once uninstalled a flatpak and it rendered another installed flatpak unlaunchable. Not even the repair function would fix it. Ended up having to use timeshift to rollback. Not sure if that was the fault of Flatpak or that one specific app but it was pretty frustrating.

I broke Gnome and now I have Flatpaks that don’t launch. I don’t want to reinstall so I am slowly fixing things.

You can try flatpak repair. Or it could be a leftover .desktop file for that app.

You can check if that app is still installed with flatpak list

How exactly are appimages annoying? I think they are awesome tbh

AppImage is a package format, not a package manager. Same with tar.

So, I would say the primary complaint should be a lack of package management.

I want a centralised app manage, not 50. I’d probably stick them in a folder and forget them if not for Gear Lever.
