Hello,

The only "software" I made are very little and are small bash scripts, I have not enough programming knowledge to have a good opinion on technical issues.

For me, but maybe it sounds strange to you and I guess it's false, the .tar.gz and programs which are compiled are common to linux distributions

What I made was setting things to be more lightweight and make run again old computers that people throw in the bin, I like a lot archlinux and antix for this, it's simple and lightweight.

I tried to make override command lines and other commands on flatpak, it didn't work to allow delta chat to access user files.

I searched to find a solution, and thought it's not well conceived or the documentation is not clear enough.

What I can help is help to write something, a tutorial, in french, maybe some documentation.

For me delta chat is really a nice idea and tool, compatible with everybody, but still I wonder why sandboxing something trustfull.

I run replicant on a phone, and saw that desktop and mobile delta chat are not the same, mobile seem more complete, I can understand why.

Thank you,

Deltachat-desktop is in the aur since a long time, so shouldn't be a
problem to get it running on arch

(i'm using it myself). It builds from latest master so you always get a
development preview. I guess you

can hack in a specific commit/tag into the PKGBUILD to get a specific
version built.

 Hello,

 I don't understand why flatpak!?

 This software is awful, it doesn't work or I didn't understand
 anything! Virtualbox, dosbox, or other interfaces are far ahead.
 While using flatpak does require some initial setup to be done by users,
 it was the platform which gave us the most realistic path to creating
 binary packages which we would have a high confidence of working on many
 linux distributions.  We also expect the initial hurdle of flatpak to
 diminish over time.

 If you have issues with getting flatpak setup qit would be great if you
 could work with the flatpak project to work out issues and improve
 flatpak usage for others.  If the problem you're experiencing is with
 the Delta Chat flatpak build itself it would be great if you could work
 with us to fix the issues.

 Lastly, there are various people working on more native support for some
 Linux distributions.  But this is not a trivial amount of work and there
 are many distributions, so this largely depends on people volunteering
 to support the distribution they care about.

I'm happy to use archlinux, somebody put in on aur, it means no flatpak!
 If you would like to work on making Delta Chat directly available on
 AUR, that would be great.  The deltchat-core dependency is already on
 AUR if I'm not mistaken.


 Kind Regards,
 Floris
