I'm wondering why people are praising the way you install apps on macOS. Sure, the idea that you can just drag and drop the app bundle into the applications folder is kinda neat.
But, IMHO, the user experience is pretty poor. You basically get no feedback. Did the copying succeed? Is it still ongoing? How do I actually start the "installed" app? Do I need to double-click the app icon? Why is the app not in my dock?

TIL that you can install aarch64 Flatpak apps on an x84_64 host and they will run finely, just a bit slower.
Flatpak automatically starts them with qemu under the hood.
I was not expecting that. I'm impressed.
