Background-Story: I did a “flatpak update” on a remote client and every package wants the PW for downloading and for installing again. I had to enter the password like 30 times or more.

    And it is the right direction.

    I disagree. We already had a much better way for programs to run on all Linux distributions, 30 years ago.
    It was called “compile it from source”.

        Or Arch. Or Slackware. Or OpenSUSE. Or basically any general purpose distro that isn’t Debian-based.

          I meant more geared for source from the get-go. Compiling everything from source without package manager or something, old school style might be a bit of a pain for most users.
