  • Flatpaks are great for situations where installing software is unnecessary complex or complicated.

    I have Steam installed for some games, and since this is a 32 bits application it would install a metric shit-don of 32 bit dependencies I do not use for anything else except Steam, so I use the Flatpak version.

    Or Kdenlive for video editing. Kdenlive is the only KDE software I use but when installing it, it feels like due to dependencies I also get pretty much all of the KDE desktop’s applications I do not need nor use nor want on my machine. So Flatpak it is.

    And then there is software like OBS, which is known for being borderline unusable when not using the only officially supported way to use it on Linux outside of Ubuntu – which is Flatpak.













  • New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.

    To me, this is the worst issue here.

    Even large Projects suggest things that are basically curl | sh – without even mentioning anything about how this could be problematic.

    New user are “trained” doing this.

    Every project suggesting it should be not only opposed but actively fought against until they change this bullshit.
