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
