Adapt or Die How new Linux packaging approaches affect wider KDE
Everyone is familiar with #Flatpak, or #Snaps, as an another way to get software. The traditional way of software through the distribution is slowly on its way out.
But distributing applications is just the tip of the iceberg. This new world changes how we approach security, it changes how we approach plugins, it changes how we approach styling, it changes how we provide a development setup it changes our approaches to libraries in general, it changes ...everything!
This talk dives into what we need to truly embrace a Flatpak/Snap world, the challenges we'll face and the lesser talked about advantages we're going to see.
