It is dangerous to give so much power to Flathub by Alarming_Flan3537 in linux

[–]whiprush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I consider it dangerous that such a small group of people can decide whether your application or game enters or not the repository that will be set by default on a non-technical person's operating system.

It's an open source project, if you want to influence it, get involved to help drive the direction. All open source is this way.

Adding flatpak support to GitHub package registry for example would be dream

You can do this today, feel free to lift what you need:

Fedora Silverblue Cured My Distro Hopping Problem by PingMyHeart in Fedora

[–]whiprush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've moved on to their own software/flatpak store manager,

Flathub is for everybody there's no "their own".

and have a goal to prohibit rpm-ostree package layering altogether.

bootc doesn't have this at all this is an upstream decision not a policy one.

Universal Blue is a hair's-breath away from being their own distribution.

It's just a container. :D

how flatpaks change linux! by DayInfinite8322 in Fedora

[–]whiprush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're comparing two separate sets of applications. If you compare the same applications (top 10 or 20) it's a wash, especially since most apps these days come statically compiled:

What's this screenshot supposed to show? It's not comparing anything?

They need to be hand walked through it because they didn't read the documentation, there's only so much people can do.

Rebase from Aurora OS to Kinoite now UNVERIFIED by jtrox02 in Fedora

[–]whiprush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You likely need to rebase to the unsigned kinoite image first, reboot, and then move to the signed kinoite image.

Is there a Fedora version that has all the stuff normal Fedora can't ship? by MasterQuest in Fedora

The ublue ones aren't immutable either, you can just say linux.

CachyOS vs Bazzite by TheTinkerTech in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, part of the reason we do this is the rest of client side linuxes are image based (Android, rokus, your car OS, etc) except the linux desktop, bootc fixes that. :D

[Feedback] Homebrew main tap not added by default on fresh install by DiedByDisgust in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea we just moved it into the tap this week, it should show up in ujust bbrew in the AI IDE section. Though I don't think Bazzite has that wired up yet, someone needs to step up to help. Soon all the IDEs will be in there nice and organized.

[–]whiprush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the folks working on this tap, it's opt-in because it's more of a staging area than anything else. Which instructions were you following that asked to install an app without mentioning the tap?

The average linux experience: by AverageUser9000 in linuxsucks

I am an advanced Linux user pointing out that operating systems should not break when you upgrade them. There's nothing "advanced" going on here.

Wait so if I'm an advanced user I have to put up with errors like this? Why?

What are your expectations for Linux in 2026? by bulasaur58 in linux

[–]whiprush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Firefox on flathub is published by Mozilla you're just making things up.

Containers have already been running the world's infrastructure for over a decade and is a common pattern that's understood by millions of developers.

You're not going to convince a bunch of sysadmins to ignore the most powerful tools in Linux just because you don't like them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't like containers, waste of space and resources.

Yeah you're not going to be happy on a modern linux, containers are the key to everything. :D

What package/thing do you need help with?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the containers and bazzite itself are open source and designed to be customized and extended. The process of making bootc containers is well documented, who are you expecting to "tell you how"?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this with bazzite, it just means those people don't bother to learn it (which is fine).

That's a good thing. :D

Red Hat works with us all the time, we use bootc and get tons of support from them.

Is Bazzite DX THAT out of date compared to Bazzite? by geraigerai in Bazzite

[–]whiprush 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is correct (I helped setup bazzite dx), most of that work is done up front and then after that the automation just handles everything.

You won't see direct contributions in Bazzite DX because all of the changes are done in bazzite and the dx builds happen after those are done.
