"Two years ago I wrote about then heavily-pushed Flatpak,
self-proclaimed "Future of Apps on Linux". The article
criticized the following three major flows in Flatpak:
Most of the apps have full access to the host system but
users are misled to believe the apps are sandboxed
The flatpak runtimes and apps do not get security updates
Flatpak breaks many aspects of desktop integration"

(the article then says that they fixed some desktop integration
issues)
