i have been using linux mint and i enjoy the automatic updates feature of course!! it makes it easier to update flatpaks and packages! great, but, i also remember i was a user of ubuntu (xfce) and it had the same software but it was kind of weird because it only updated packages i think so.

is there any software or apps that you can download on other distros that do the same thing that linux mint does in regards to updates?? that it updates flatpaks and packages and everything. thank you very much, that would make my system more stable and up to date.

    Different software management systems can interact with Flatpak. I think the KDE package manager can, and the Gnome package manager too, if you install the plugin.

      Yeah, I think it depends on how the distro decides to implement it, can’t remember now but I think e. g. in Fedora KDE you need to tick a box somewhere in Discover’s (KDE’s updater) settings (and then it’s Fedora’s own Flatpak repo?). In Bazzite which I’m using atm it’s Flatpaks all the way down anyway 😸

      It’s also quite nice in KDE that you can do Flatpak permissions etc in System Settings.
