From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Then you do a flatpak list and it abbreviates the shit out of the identifiers so you can't use them either. Whoever designed that UX needs to lean back an contemplate life a bit.

Well that comes down to your terminal size, you have to filter the columns if your screen is too small: docs

flatpak --columns="app" list

Sure, it's possible. I can also use flatpak list -d to show everything. But the combination of these defaults is just fucked up UX (require the full id for certain operations, but don't always show the full id by default).

Yeah honestly they could have avoided putting Branch, Origin and Installation if there isn't enough space available.
The CLI definitely needs some polishing, not to mention flatpak update breaking horrendously on scrollback
