I don't understand how you're supposed to know or remember all the flatpak names of all applications, to run them from terminal!?

What are you supposed to do? Why?

#flatpak #linux

@forteller I agree, in my opinion it's madness to use reverse DNS notation. It's one of its biggest design flaws.

If #Flatpak would use regular DNS notation, it would still have all the benefits of domain names, but autocomplete would at least work as expected.

The TLD is the least important part of an app name and nothing that users should have to remember. "Was it com.github.name or io.github.name or org. or ...?"

My workaround is a systemd timer to create shortcuts: https://pastebin.com/6LMLbvHK

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
