My life has changed today.

Before I was but an ambivalent #linux desktop user of #flatpak, but now I am converted.

I have two operating systems because of all this Gtk4 compile business which is making my life more complicated than it needs to be.

But to be able to share the .var directory between the two year old PopOS and the alpha for #Ubuntu 24.04 and have the installed flatpaks Just-Work with all my saved data. It's the kind of not-have-to-think-about-it that's really convincing.

@doctormo I'm wondering: since Firefox got distributed by Ubuntu via Flatpack, I have to redo a large part of my config (the one not synchronized with Firefox account) by hand at every update because it can't get back wherever is the previous config. I wouldn't want to add Inkscape to this list of painful stuff.
@nojhan @doctormo I think you meant to write snap instead of flatpak, ubuntu isn't fond of flatpak
