    Ubuntu: Too many ways to install apps. Arch: I installed everything from aur. I should’ve used flatpaks.

      I much prefer the AUR and native system packages to flatpak. It’s the big advantage Arch has over other distros, just how much software is natively available due to the AUR. There are a few cases where flatpak works better but generally I prefer all my apps to share one set of up to date dependencies.

        Sure but flatpacks are sandboxed which is much more valuable imo. Aur is easy, i celebrated that you can just yay and install anything.
