And user-space implementations of WireGuard are used a lot anyway, especially on mobile. Every VPN provider app ships with one, at least as a backup (It’s wireguard-go usually since boringtun is not well maintained).

You are in a thread where a user is having a problem because of the push for flatpaks, and because of some distros like Fedora crippling their packages and providing objectively worse alternatives on purpose (because they don’t want to risk RH IBM getting sued). If the user was using some sane community distro like Arch, the user would have never come to realize that such unnecessary issues even exist.

As for flatpak hate specifically, see my ramblings here.

Users are better off using a “freeworld” ffmpeg package, or not using Fedora at all. The cisco decoder is shit.

your life will be better if you stop using both flatpaks and openh264.

Just the common “hate” talking points.

Because it’s more inconvenience than help for users who are average or above, and have no interest in using that technology.

If app developers start distributing binaries as flatpaks exclusively (examples of this already exist), then just extracting those binary packages alone is a chore (involving obscure(ish) steps starting with creating an empty ostree). It’s the kind of knowledge that is so useless you immediately erase it from your memory, which is what I did.

Also, one look at the dependency tree of flatpak, or even just ostree, and you quickly realize how much of a joke the “security” claims are with all that attack surface (think the xz in systemd drama and multiply it by a 100).

Can Flatpak itself be sunset with some bullying?
