Nice article. But for Goodness' sake, why instruct people to use the Flatpak CLI instead of just their distro's graphical Software app?

@reinouts while I admit it would be handy. Flatpak is the primary packaging source as per the actual dev's github. If you are going to bring light to an app I'd say the considerable thing to do would be to honor the dev's preference. All other versions are made by volunteer maintainer's as such same level of quality can't be guaranteed. TLDR if you install unofficial packages don't complain if your issue's aren't taken as serious or flat out ignored

@voidlink_ I think we have a misunderstanding here. I thought it goes without saying that the Software app uses Flathub as a source of packages. (It does on Fedora.)

@reinouts Then the misunderstanding is primarily on my part, apologies. It's an interesting approach. You right in that most major distros do have a graphical installer with flatpak repo preconfigured. Ultimately I think boils down to the command being more universal as not every distro has the same app store. But most have flatpak CLI ready to go.
