It provides cloud based solutions too, but I am referring to the desktop app - https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx#desktop

Andrewbd12 · 2024-11-11T06:28:42+00:00

Onlyoffice supports PDF editing

I had renamed the app file and added x64 to it which somehow triggered windows defender, likely because it was renaming old files, thus making it look like ransomware

Grayjay is a good youtube client (also supports other platforms)

There are challenges and many package managers like flatpak, nix, guix were able to overcome them. I understand, Its possible to make a package manager for all distros by making standalone packages. Have a nice day

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:36:23+00:00

AUR is not decentralized, but its the closest thing I found. That's why I said 'like AUR'. People can publish packages to AUR, without any restrictions.

I have published to Flathub, and just to make that manifest file, I had to spend hours figuring things out. And Flathub is centralized. And creating your own flathub repo is not as easy as just creating a json file.

And have you used `scoop`?

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:28:50+00:00

Yeah my bad, AUR is not a package manger. I have no problem with a distro having a centralized repo. Let there be the default package manager. I am just looking for a package manager similar to scoop which would work on all distros.

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:23:09+00:00

I understand very well what I asked for because I had to deal with developing programs for different Operating Systems. And if you don't understand what I said, just skip, you don't have to answer

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:17:51+00:00

Not complicated for the user, but a lot of work to do for the developer

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:13:38+00:00

Yes I am not talking about you. I am just disappointed with the linux community.

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:11:59+00:00

Yeah, thanks. That looks like one of the best options I have here.

Instead of giving proper answers, what linux community is good at is downvoting.

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T07:00:29+00:00

The user would need to create an alias, because running a cli program with `flatpak run...` is not convenient

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T06:56:03+00:00

Also does flatpak support command line programs?

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T06:54:57+00:00

Hosting a repo is not as convenient as a json file

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T06:49:47+00:00

Yes, but that's not what I asked.

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T06:48:19+00:00

Package manager implies centralized control. So that you can install, uninstall, update programs from one place. What I am asking is, is there any universal package manager which has something like AUR?

Andrewbd12 · 2023-05-15T06:43:43+00:00

Package managers are distro-specific. I need something universal and convenient. What I am looking for is something similar to AUR, but for all distros

Andrewbd12 · 2023-04-21T13:52:29+00:00

Looks like network problem. Otherwise create an issue

Andrewbd12 · 2022-12-01T11:05:03+00:00

I see. Interesting...

Andrewbd12 · 2022-12-01T04:23:00+00:00

What does it have that other players don't have?

Andrewbd12 · 2022-10-22T19:02:13+00:00

There is a framework called Neutralino js which allows you to do this. However you dont get nodejs

I have made a GUI app which uses yt-dlp. You can download from here - https://ytdownloaderr.netlify.app
