With docker/lxc/lxd, you can use your own images so you should be able |
15 |
to do so with snap. You lose the ability simply to add a repo and pull |
16 |
an image from it. |

It partly supports Flatpak in F24. You can manage already installed |
31 |
apps, but you still need to use flatpak command to install them. In |
32 |
F25, you will be able to just download .flatpak file, double-click it |
33 |
and Software will install it and set its repo. |

I think that once the full sandboxing / portal system is in place, |
40 |
there _will_ be a tangible reason to prefer Flatpak. |

i wasn't referring to the "installer." The Flatpak intention's to |
52 |
package GUI apps only. |
