Ephera , in Ubuntu Flavors Will Stop Using Flatpak

by making it clearer about what an “Ubuntu experience” is.

The user experience will be worse, because they can’t use Flatpaks without jumping through extra hoops.

So, I guess, a “Ubuntu experience” is a bad experience. Not going to argue with that.

Ubuntu is the stepping stone from Mac/Windows to Linux. Like the tutorial level. It’s also one of the most “corporate” Linux OS vendors outside of RedHat. Of course it’s shitty lol.

Now do the same with snaps.

Tiuku ,

Probably the whole point is just to clear the field for their snapstore

musicmatze , in Red Hat donates $10,000 to OBS Studio, Flatpak to be official for Linux
@musicmatze@lemmy.ml avatar

Good news on one side (10k for OBS) and bad news on the other side. 😂

joojmachine ,

Why bad news? It means that there’s an universal package with official support for every distro instead of them just supporting Debian/Ubuntu and everything else being just… kinda there and unnoficial.

I am not in favour of these flatpacks/snaps or whatever these things are called. Packages should be distro packages, always. And the vendor of the software should never be responsible of packaging, thats literally the job of the distribution.

You are ignorant due to assuming Flatpaks are same as Snaps or AppImages. Flatpaks are incredible. AppImages are next. Snaps are worst.

ChinaNumberOne , in Reasons to consider NOT switching to Linux

Ideology over functionality

imagine actually thinking this is a bad thing, i’d take ideology over functionality anytime possible

milo128 ,

if you’d read it you’d see the author has no problem with people who choose ideology over functionality, only people that try to force others to.

birokop , in Gnu Guix System Review

Isn’t this missing the entire point of guix?

fishinthecalculator ,

You mean reproducibility and bootstrappability?

adrianmalacoda ,

Being a free software GNU distribution is also the point of Guix, and it’s part of what attracted me to it (although its practical abilities are nice as well).

fishinthecalculator ,

Yes I definitely agree: free software is also a requirement for bootstrappability and reproducibility.
