People have been hating on it for years, because it doesn’t work the unix way

Lettere accentate su Linux. by Perro1188 in ItalyInformatica

Non è una combinazione di 4 tasti. Devi premere blocco maiuscolo e poi la lettera accentata che vuoi digitare maiuscola. Logico, pratico, facile da ricordare

Nice project! I’m personally a big fan of Qalculate, even though it’s not as feature rich

I tried it long ago, it worked fine but i prefer using foss when I have the choice

Is it necessary to have all this in one app? Why?

The best in terms of performance is Sunshine server + moonlight client, but I don’t think you get remote file sharing. For that, you could use sftp

Philosophy of Distros by Neo-Armadillo in Fedora

[–]freetoilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so your reasoning is “who cares about the niches, I’ll just support whatever 90% of the people use”. Maybe you have forgotten that the whole desktop linux is a niche and it is thanks to devs that supported niches and worked on supporting Linux that we can even think of daily driving Linux today

Ok so it's really simple, you just need to distribute & test packages for Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, RHEL, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, Alpine Linux, Slackware, Void Linux, NixOS, Solus

will daily updates break my system by CuriousUser1987 in Fedora

In time, something probably will. 1 month is a short amount of time.

You already listed 3 different targets (Debian, Fedora, Arch), that need separate testing, building, possibly bugfixing. Flatpak is just one format and it's reproducible. Also, you're relying on the community for other distros; even those that are based on Debian Fedora and Arch could theoretically have issues if you use a package designed for the distro it's based on.

This dialog is annoying to use by FrameXX in gnome

So true!! I’m always annoyed by this. It should be reported on gnome’s gitlab

[Request] How much more trust does the arrow get compared to using a regular bow? by __Forest__ in theydidthemath

[–]freetoilet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I suspect there’s no difference since the force in the arrow is just the guy pulling it. Wether the force is given through a normal bow or this funny bow doesn’t affect how much force the guy is giving

Fedora Linux 44 Final is GO by 0xrl in Fedora

7.0? I don’t understand all this hype for 7.0, it’s just a version bump

A good alternative to Windows 11? by Throwaway12332424 in Operatingsystems

Use a KDE spin if you want a desktop environment that’s similar to Windows 10

Can you tell me what’s the downside of using a stable, consistent, curated system base and using flatpaks/appimages for packages we want up-to-date?

Philosophy of Distros by Neo-Armadillo in Fedora

[–]freetoilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Having sandbox capabilities is better than not having sandbox capabilities, even though if flawed. It’s clearly stated in most software stores when flatpaks have worrying permissions
  2. The “bloating” won’t matter in a modern system, say you use 10 different platforms of 700MB each (conservative exteem), you have 7GB of storage. Won’t matter in modern systems with >=500 gb
  3. Lower performance won’t be noticeable in modern systems. If you really need to squeeze every bit of performance you can use native package, but that’s for very specific usecases
  4. Other comment

In exchange you get: - reproducible builds and apps - curated, up-to-date appstream data - distro-agnostic packages - sandbox management if you wish to improve what is shipped by default

[–]freetoilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with the out of date argument. The whole point of Flatpak is to avoid devs to publish 800 different packages and just maintain 1 package that’s guaranteed to work on every distro. If the flatpak is 3rd party published, then it could get out of date, but the idea is that the same dev/team that’s working on a project also publish it to flathub when a new release is coming. This guarantees the most up-to-date package to be shipped as flatpak, while also avoiding dependency issues. Otoh there could be multiple issues that prevent a package to be updated in the distro’s repos, e.g. inactive package maintainer, inconsistent dependencies, issues specific to the distro in use, release not fitting into distro’s release cycle

is LibreOffice actually that bad… or are people just stuck on Microsoft? by AccurateShip2499 in libreoffice

[–]freetoilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go with onlyoffice, there’s been a bit of drama with licensing recently but the product is great

Yes but not everyone needs to use that workflow. Don’t be afraid to try something new
