Great I’m very happy for you! :)
I was not expecting three characters from firefly, that show is still popular it blows my mind!
you have to set up the XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable to take into account ~/.nix-profile/share
the desktop icons will only appear after a relogin though.
Well the issue for me is internet speed, yesterday night I had to leave my pc on for two hours to update my flatpaks, I don’t even have that many of them, but the updates were mostly drivers and runtimes.
IMO yes but it might not be an issue for you, flatpaks work like windows standalone executables where each app brings all their dependencies with them, the advantage is the insane stability that method provides, the downside is the huge size the app will ultimately take, flatpaks are compressed and they don’t really bring all their dependencies with them (because they can share runtimes) but the gist of it is a flatpak is usually much heavier than a system (.deb .rpm .PKG) package.
If you are ok with tweaking I recommend nix pkgs as they work on any distro and take slightly more space than regular packages. I have a terrible connection and low disk space, flatpaks aren’t something I can use on the long run.
Oh and if you’re wondering flatpak >>>> snap > appimages (IMO)
This will never stop being funny 🤣🤣🤣
