I wish I could care less about Flatpak. But they inject themselves into every protocol discussion on Wayland and loudly insist only the flatpak solution is acceptable. That we have to keep using their dbus or whatever they do thinh. They drove off a xfce maintainer in record time who was just trying to discuss how to help their users, with terrible behavior. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/m...

Everyone else is getting off dbus, is working to let the compositor have power, have authority. Dbus is this other system that has some security options but that rarely is well locked down.

And it's just wild to me that there's such ongoing protest against using Wayland protocol development that's so insistent, and it's especially annoying and frustrating seeing it from biased folk like Flatpak who want to make sure there is no discrete source of authority, who want to make sure they can own a chunk of the UX. DBus and their protocols make sure Wayland doesn't become the one way to run a good desktop, that you have to keep having multiple totally different messaging systems going. Fine, I don't begrudge you that as an option, but don't keep road blocking those who want to develop Wayland, please!
