Hi there!

Based on security and stability i was wondering what is more preferable?

Installing apps through flatpak or through debian repositories?

Some thoughts in my mind.

Repositories:

-I was thinking that in repositories you have old software that gets
bugs fixes. But what about old software that it isnt supported? Are
fixes backported etc? How fast?

-Doesnt offer easy sandboxing like flatpak

-Apparmor can restrict applications


Flatpak:

-sandboxing

-Propably bug fixes are faster if the developer support flatpak distribution

-No Apparmor.

-are the latest applications stable enough?


Any thoughts on the issue?
