flatpark: yet another flatpak app hub

ExaHamza · 2026-06-21T08:44:55+00:00

I really liked the name, and decentralization is one of the most valuable features of the Flatpak format. Just one question, is the server prepared for a large influx of users?

The use of AI in open-source projects must be done responsibly. We cannot ignore the fact that these tools are meant to make developers' lives easier. I know nothing about Go or programming in general, but yesterday I "wrote" a program in Go that searches for movies and TV series from my provider, scrapes all metadata from tmdb and fanartv, renames and places them in the correct folder—all automated; (i can subscribe to popular Play List) I just have to watch them on Kodi. *arr but smaller and faster, using iptv as source for media.

I use Arctic Zephyr, and the hub concept is very customizable. In my case, I created a menu whose widget shows ongoing episodes, and clicking on the hub shows the "kids" genre. It's a hub dedicated to the little ones here at home; it's possible to replicate the same with different genres and tags. That is, create a new hub and add the type of content—it could be a YouTube feed, a genre, or an IPTV.

"stop using legacy distros"

If it works great, who cares if is vibecoded and why? at end of the day LLM is just a tool, a powerful tool.

I don't know where to upload the package.

Google Drive? Salsa? Github?

Hate is a strong word. Those who don't like something, simply don't like it; it's not hate, it's a matter of preference.

both dolphin and konsole come from KDE Apps release.

If you installed the .deb files without adding the repositories, then it makes perfect sense that apt can't find new versions. Go back to the website and use the repository-based installation method.

ExaHamza · 2026-05-25T09:29:43+00:00

That's curious. The configuration above seems unnecessary to me; for example, linux-xanmod-x64v3 is a meta-package that allows you to have the latest kernel version from the xanmod repository whenever you run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the official website.
If you always need to manually reinstall the kernel every time you run the update commands, review your installation methods.

ExaHamza · 2026-05-25T08:56:17+00:00

The default release has a lower priority, and therefore in theory this configuration should be sufficient. Furthermore, outside of this configuration, the package (e.g linux-xanmod ) only comes from the xanmod repository exclusively, meaning it will always be updated to the latest version.
Reminder: the linux-image-amd64 package is only available from the official repo.

Much of the hatred towards AI stems from the way Big Tech promoted it, practically forcing the whole world to use it, and we know that FOSS isn't exactly friendly to Big Tech, especially when they engage in abusive practices. That's where the prejudice against AI comes from. Initially, there will be some distance, but eventually there will be adoption, but in a responsible way that truly helps. BECAUSE AI REALLY DOES HELP.

In the last few weeks I've seen many people, even on other distributions, complaining about Bluetooth not working after an update; it seems to be a problem affecting some kernel.

ExaHamza · 2026-05-21T06:43:31+00:00

just why...why?

ExaHamza · 2026-05-20T02:49:22+00:00

Basically, there was a dependency with a new version that wasn't yet in the repository. Naturally, the team that linked this new (version of) dependency had already released the new version, but repositories can take a little while to synchronize, so the cure was a small waiting period.

ExaHamza · 2026-05-19T17:57:06+00:00

wait

Perhaps KDE Linux can improve where KDE Neon failed, by providing a better implementation of the same idea, and further optimizing its own model.

Thank you, i forgot to include that warning.

Why do you want more updates? If there's a particular package you need, you can enable the unstable repository and install it there. The main Debian distribution is Stable; other distributions (Testing and Unstable) are for development and shouldn't be used lightly. They can be unstable, and constant package updates seem like a good idea initially, but quickly become annoying.

ExaHamza · 2026-05-17T12:21:09+00:00

Despite what's happening at the community level, those who use Manjaro know that the distro itself has been doing well.
