Gentoo sometimes takes a lot of time to stabilize some packages; flatpak usually have them immediately. For nightly builds is even better, since you don't need to pollute your stable system. I'm using git://github.com/fosero/flatpak-overlay.git (I don't use layman) The only keyworded package I have is flatpak-builder; everything else is stable. I regularly run in flatpak Inkscape, GNOME Builder, Glade, Pitivi, and Steam (Cities: Skylines runs really well in Linux); but you can use it to test new software too. It's trivial to install, update and remove software. With all these packages, my flatpak repositories are using 13Gb, which is nothing for my hard drive; but it will duplicate libraries from your regular Linux distribution. Also, I run systemd; I *think* it's necessary to run flatpak.

Bzzt!

Though it's in the portage tree unamasked and marked stable, you can= 9;t
actually _build_ it, since it requires an old, vulnerable version of
webkit-gtk that _isn't_ in the portage tree.

So I thought maybe I'd try it out using a flatpak "package":<= br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.g= nome.Geary

But, flatpak isn't in the standard portage tree, so you have to use an<= br> overlay or local repo.

This is beginning to look like a lot of work.

Is it practical to use flatpak apps on Gentoo?

In my experience is amazing. Gentoo sometimes takes a lot of time t= o stabilize some packages; flatpak usually have them immediately. For night= ly builds is even better, since you don't need to pollute your stable s= ystem.

I'm using


(I don't use layman)= The only keyworded package I have is flatpak-builder; everything else is s= table.

I regularly run in flatpak Inkscape, GNOME = Builder, Glade, Pitivi, and Steam (Cities: Skylines runs really well in Lin= ux); but you can use it to test new software too. It's trivial to insta= ll, update and remove software.

With all these pac= kages, my flatpak repositories are using 13Gb, which is nothing for my hard= drive; but it will duplicate libraries from your regular Linux distributio= n.
