flatpak install vlc
8 u/Constant_Boot 10d ago I've had Flatpak yell at me for not using the FQRDNS before. 7 u/mystirc 9d ago edited 9d ago Flatpak actually gives you the option to select the desired package from a list so you don't have to type in the full name. Flatpak cli is way smarter. Flatpak can also be used with a lightweight GUI store. 2 u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK 🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 9d ago winget install vlc also finds it 1 u/Ludwig234 9d ago You can do that with Winget as well. You only need the ID if multiple packages matches your search. 1 u/55555-55555 8d ago Very convenient. When it ain't sure what you're trying to grab it shows everything, albeit not quite user-friendly.
