My “IT” employer is still using hardware from 2017-2018 and we have maybe a handful of actual desktop PCs. This Windows 11 thing is kind of hilarious since we are totally unprepared financially.

I like flatpaks, kinda. If something is in the standard repo, I install it. If it’s a library or CLI tool, I add the repository. If it has simple build instructions, I build it. If all of those things are too complicated or they want me to run a script, I just install the flatpak.
