minus-square@liliumstar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish20•2 months agoI would use the native version. For something like this, it makes sense that it should have less restricted/sandboxed access to the underlying system.
minus-square@alteredEnvoy@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink15•2 months agoHmm, wouldn’t the virt manager just be a frontend and communicate with the virtd socket though?
minus-square@deadcade@lemmy.deadca.delinkfedilink8•2 months agovirt-manager only requires access to the libvirtd socket, as long as the flatpak.has that as default configuration (which I imagine would be the case), there’s zero difference beteween flatpak and native.
minus-square@deafboy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months agoIn my experience, this is not the case. It just says it can’t connect. Doesn’t specify how or where to.
minus-square@hellostick@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilink1•2 months agoactually there is difference in version between the two. deb by my distro is in 4.0.0 (mar, 2022) while flatpak is 5.0.0 (nov, 2024)
minus-square@hellostick@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilink2•2 months agoi am not sure which one is the native version… you mean the version packaged by the distro (deb) or the developer (flatpak)?
