As someone who uses Linux but only kinda, what advantages does flatpack offer over installing something with the provided package manager? (In my case that’s apt)
When I first used it it felt like they were usually out of date or missing. But nowadays It seems like I can find like 90% of the apps I use as flatpaks, leaving packages mainly for backend and terminal stuff.
Anything brother. I have never had a single problem with my two brothers. I had an hp inkjet not too long ago and it was the most Godawful ass backwards device I have ever used
I will have to give it a try.
Ubuntu 23.04, Nvidia 3080, xorg. I would use Wayland but it doesn't work with steam at all for me at the moment. Maybe this update fixed it.
I somewhat recently ran across VanillaOS, which I have only really had time to install and play around with for a few minutes, but it seems really cool. A very brief overview is that it is a sort-of-but-not-really immutable OS that leans very heavily on containerization to allow you to install packages from any other distro in a seamless-to-the-user way. So you can install an application (cli or GUI) from an ubuntu repo and use it along side an application from an arch repo. It's ubuntu-based, but according to the info on that link, the next release switches to being debian-based.
I mostly use ChromeOS these days-- well, I guess technically I mostly use SteamOS these days-- so I don't have a lot of hands-on experience with VanillaOS, but I found the concept really cool and from a few minutes of playing around with it, it seemed to work pretty well with respect to the containerization stuff.
Not to duplicate some of the entries, I will keep it short LF file manager (seen ranger mentioned but no lf) Ytfzf for finding yt videos and playing them in MPV without the need of web browser
