Systemd

Fridge art. Fuck, they MAYBE have nfsroot working. MAYBE. After a decade of fucking around, when it was available for ages. The number of bags on the side of lennart's piece of crap, just to reinvent the wheels we had before, is absolutely ridiculous.

and Flatpaks

... break single source of truth for as-built information and current software manifest. This kills validation, which dissolves certainty on consistency, then repeatability. And given the state of the software load exported to management tools is NOT the flatpak source of truth, you now have a false negative on the 'installation' of a flatpak resource when checking it via management.

Oh. That needs to be on the interview questions.

Gonna be honest with you I'm an intermediate user and understood jack shit of what you just said. A beginner and average user would have probably been scared off by Linux by this point rewding this.

If I understood the funny words magic man correctly, he is complaining that flatpaks don't come from a single trusted source and may become a vector for malware, unlike official distro repositories. Still, that was a very technobabble way of saying it.

Maybe thats what he/she was trying to achieve.
