Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    There’s still a few edge cases that Flatpak is not great for. The Flatpak version of Kdenlive video editor can’t see Whisper, which it uses to generate subtitles. The Appimage and native builds work flawlessly.

    I’m assuming these problems will be addressed eventually but it takes time.

      I ran into an issue with flatpak version of Kdenlive that it would render only the topmost V track if it was a simple still image.
      Preview worked fine.
      Luckily, someone in Kdenlive’s Matrix suggested that I use an appimage. I used my distro’s version and the final render was fine.

      Other than that I had positive experience with flatpaks in general.
