What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub? in c/[email protected]

Easy, tiger. I think you misinterpreted my original reply.

I meant the whining about the two (systemd and flatpak) isn't strictly OR but may be AND. Have a nice day.

My totally unscientific opinion (with a double-your-money-back guarantee!):

I'm not crazy about either Flatpak or Snap for that matter as there's so much backend baggage for both as well as certain hurdles regarding privileges and access to the file system (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong or working with dated information.)

My other completely prejudiced, unfounded bias against Flatpak is that it appears to have been adopted by RedHat as "the one true way," and what with IBM's/RedHat's behaviour anti-FOSS behaviour lately, plus I've almost always have been an apt user, I find it a pill hard to swallow.

Me, say what you will about the security issues and its other flaws, but I like AppImage.

The two whines are not mutually exclusive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Am I the only one who thinks T2 was the only good film in this series?

FTFY. Okay, okay, the first film was enjoyable, low-budget sci-fi cheese but you all have to admit there is a world of difference between the first and second movie, a qualitative quantum leap. Then the saga went ahead with bigger budgets and smaller brains. But that's James Cameron for ya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Ahh...I get it...I saw the title and thought it was about IBM's OS/2 in an "out of the box," uncustomized state, hence "Vanilla OS 2" code-named Orchid...oh, never mind already.

Does Wayland really break everything? (Nate Graham's OG post ref'd in the Phoronix article) in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Wayland is still in development and the bandwagoning are the early adopters

Not to bust your chops but I'm not sure what you're implying. What isn't still in development? WordStar? X11? Mac System 7? And Wayland's initial release was 2008. That's 15 years ago. Who are these "early adopters" of which you speak anymore?
