Distributors entering Flatpakland

If things could be solved by brute force on computers, we would not need smart data structures, compression, optimised algorithms etc.

Installing another copy of, for example, mesa, on a system that already has one is simply sub-optimal. The only reason this is supposedly required in an open source ecosystem is because people refuse to come together and co-operate. And that will always be to everyone's detriment.

I understand that flatpak developers are trying to solve a real problem, which is amazing fragmentation of the open source ecosystem. The current result, unfortunately, has pretty serious side effects.
