Not officially any time soon

A package system which requires reboot after installation is not up to todays standards. It makes using the software that one bit more irritating.

If you're referring to Flatpak, I don't think it requires a reboot after installation. The only packaging system that I encountered so far that requires a reboot is rpm-ostree.

If you're referring to Flatpak, I don't think it requires a reboot after installation.

It probably doesn't require reboot to run the app from console. But the way Flatpack creates .desktop file makes it invisible until reboot. When I install a new app, I don't immediately know how to run it from console (unless it is a console app).

Some install instructions do mention that restart is required: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/10/record-screen-ubuntu-wayland-kooha/

ALT Linux has an RPM package for you to install.

I just filed an ITP to package kooha for debian; it will take me at least until Christmas to start working on it tbh.

fwiw, kooha works (tm) on debian and will land in unstable soon (tm)
