Really my main point of doing this was to try something different. I've been neutral on flatpak this whole time. I've never had problems with native installs, but I'm also a little judicious on what I try to install on my systems. The point of this exercise was to flip those habits.
About flatpaks, I've learned:
Distrobox has also been cool because I usually don't like to install random crap on my machine, but with Distrobox I've been doing just that. I can install random C++ libraries, Node, Haskell, Postgres, etc and not worry about polluting my main system I actually care about. In the past, I would take some time to consider if I should really install this random thing. And yes, I'd
pacman -Rs pkgif it didn't pan out.I'm not sure if I'll keep running the system like this, but so far it's been interesting to run things a little differently.
