What exactly is “sideloading”?
Love me some flatpak updates. I hope it will be as good as Android’s sandboxing in the near future.
finally! it’s an important feature for any package manager, i had no idea flatpak still lacked it.
Sideloading or preinstalling?
Sideloading already existed, but only for ostree flatpaks. Flatpak also supports OCI flatpaks, but the support for those aren’t as good, hence the previously missing side loading support.
You seem to know about flatpak so I thought i’d ask this question here, since I couldn’t find much searching online. I’m messing around with postmarketos (which is alpine Linux based and using wayland) at the moment on an old phone, and installed a flatpak version of Joplin. Problem is I can’t get the onscreen keyboard to be triggered when an input field has focus. Any tips to fix this? I’m not sure if its a problem with my set up, or how the flatpak was prepared. So not sure what to do to fix it.
