Thanks, I’ve been trying to get a Tumbleweed installation running today but a few critical cross platform programs made for Ubuntu/Fedora won’t run. I don’t like the ad/telemetry direction Canonical has taken Ubuntu into, I may try Debian.

I’d say about half of what I do is command-line (VMs, host OS being Windows). I am liking tumbleweed but I need to actually install it to see how it plays with my graphics card.

Since they’re new to me, how easy can/how often are malicious flatpaks introduced to the ecosystem and are they vetted somehow? It’s my understanding (at least for docker) that they aren’t virtualized so they share kernel functionality meaning any image is just a priv esc away from moving outside the container.

Thank you, I’ll read up on this more. My main concern is long-term usability (I ended up switching back to windows because an update would completely break the system and no amount of searching could fix it in an afternoon). This would happen every 6 months at least. So that sounds nice.
