  • I just think the user should be the one to decide whether they enable it or not. Pre-built PCs and motherboards can enable it by default, but it should be simple to bypass (and it usually is) and no company should be demanding or requiring people enable it.

    The same applies for TPM2, which is also useful but shouldn’t be a requirement. If nothing else because of the E-waste this can cause by requiring PCs to support it. And most new PCs will end up enabling it in the long run anyway, so there is no need to force the issue.

















  • The sandboxing sometimes breaks applications or requires additional configuration. And I don’t like that it’s a separate thing I need to maintain, although some package managers pair main package updates etc together.

    And as a NixOS user, I prefer to use nix to handle as much of my system as possible, although flatpak at least is useful as a fallback in a pinch. Of course, this is a niche within a niche and mainstream users, particularly those using immutable distros can and do benefit from flatpak.
