Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

I think stability is a pretty good reason
Open Discover, Gnome Software etc -> Click update?
And with topgrade you can even upgrade flatpaks and your distros repos in one go
I'm now confused if they're saying that flatpak is centrally managed or not. To me it seems centrally managed, both the flatpak ecosystem but your whole machine (repo packages, firmware, flatpak) if you use those app stores. I might've misunderstood what they said.
We're both saying that it's centrally managed
Fuck, I took both the wrong way. Sorry about that
Oh no, no GUI nonsense. Single, simple shell command update for the whole system so that it can be properly remotely managed, please. Something equivalent to
sudo apt upgradeI've written a small script that does all the updates (repo, flatpak, docker), verified the packages, does cleanup and shows if stuff needs rebooted. Handy. That way I can do everything from one short command
