>Flatpack is a weird extra layer on top of Linux

My brother in christ, systemd, x11 and even GNU are weird extra layers on top of Linux. Linux is just the kernel. This is exactly what "redefining Linux so it's never responsible for 99% you need to put on top of Linux to have a functional modern OS" is about.

See, that's why calling it "linux" instead of "gnu/linux" confuses people and generates confused comments such as yours :)

I explicitly acknowledged that in the other half of the sentence you partially quoted.

I also explained why I thought it was not really right to focus on the deficiencies of Flatpack… so, I’m not sure what the point in repeating that would be. In conclusion,

> Linux is […] exactly what […] you need

I agree!
