flatpak-desktop
In the never ending quest to have the most up to the minute desktop features yet a supxera stable system I am currently using an Arch base ontop of a BTRFS filesystem then utilising contained packages like snaps and flatpaks to get none essential software. Currently favouring flatpaks for desktop stuff.
Flatpak puts executables here:
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin
so add it to your $PATH
Here is how I get my gnome stuff:
-
Add the flatpak source
$ sudo flatpak remote-add –from gnome-apps https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome-apps.flatpakrepo
-
See what available
$ flatpak remote-ls gnome-apps
-
Install alittle something
$ sudo flatpak install gnome-apps org.gnome.Nautilus
