ASHPD Demo running on Ubuntu 16.04, showing a notification through XDG portals

According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.

    relatively weak sandboxing

    because xorg exists, not because flatpak can’t do sandboxing well

    dependencies get bundled a few times

    only if there’s a need to do so. identical runtimes are shared

    depends on the application developer to be available to do things like supply chain attacks

    yeah as if a rogue package maintainer can’t do the same
