I’m currently on a atomic distro, so how I get my software from favorite to least favorite is this:

  1. Flatpak
  2. Appimage
  3. Fedora distrobox
  4. rpm-ostree

os-tree is slow as molasses

@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

It is. I also wonder if there was a model that accomplishes the same thing but with less image copying.

Like, make snapshots every day, but manual installs are not snapshotted but still tracked with ostree. So you can revert them, display them transparently etc.

As it should be, don’t do that.

Doctor, when I do this it hurts…

Also, you’re creating a disk image…

GravitySpoiled ,

Have you met nix?

possiblylinux127 ,

Nix is cool but also incredibly painful

PlexSheep ,

curl

Nomecks ,

|sudo bash

very smart much secure

Kusimulkku ,

I don’t remember what program it was, the dev explained it wasn’t available as flatpak because flatpaks are unsafe or something. Then the installation guide went “well anyway here’s curl | sudo bash.” Like, lmao. Talk about bad security practices.

Diplomjodler3 ,

If you don’t compile from source, do you even Linux?

WeLoveCastingSpellz ,

AUR changed my life

possiblylinux127 ,

Did someone’s script wipe out your tax returns?

Linux From Scratch user detected

Or Slackware

InverseParallax ,

Or gentoo.

Diplomjodler3 ,

Ah … yeah … totally. I would never use some filthy peasant distro like Mint. No sir! Never never ever!

Compile from source.

MajorHavoc , (edited )

Lol. It’s not the groundhog we should be watching, then?

Trail ,

There is no software that is not in AUR. I use arch, BTW.

Trail ,

But yeah, sometimes I just compile from source, if needed.

Gatekeeping the word “software” here?
Here’s something not in the AUR. Tested on arch

cm0002 ,

Clearly we need an Arch version of rule 34 and rule 35

Rule 34a: If linux software exists, it’s in the AUR. No exceptions.

Rule 35a: If linux software is not in the AUR, it will be made available in the AUR.

@ulterno@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I don’t intend on pushing that one to the AUR. It’s not worth it.
Maybe I’ll make an AppImage at most.

I don’t know any formal requirements for it being on AUR, but I just feel like this one does not fit there.

cm0002 ,

Sorry, I’ve already posted the new internet rules and they took immediate effect, I’ll have to report this incident to…the council.

possiblylinux127 ,

This is such a weird gatekeeper take

cm0002 ,

Its a joke lol, why are you so serious all the time

InverseParallax ,

puppycat ,

i use arch based btw (I love my Manjaro and it’s AUR support) :>

hperrin ,

My software, QuickDAV, is not in the AUR. It’s open source, and I release it only as an AppImage, because I am lazy.

folkrav ,

I guess we should have added the word “notable”

I’m terribly sorry, you left the door wide open ;)

I’m curious, what makes AppImage a good choice for the lazy developer? Is it easier to create?

hperrin ,

Ouch. xD

It’s super easy to create. And you distribute it on your own, so it’s basically like an installer exe on Windows. In my mind it’s one step above only offering source code.

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Appimages are crap too, but at least there is progress with AppMan, repos and that sandboxing solution.

Snaps are only sandboxed with Apparmor and snapd only allows a single repo (which contained malware multiple times) so get the hell off my lawn XD

possiblylinux127 ,

Just use flatpak. It runs and installs local but still has the benefits of a package manager

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Yup.

ulterno ,
@ulterno@lemmy.kde.social avatar

If it’s C or C++, I get the source from the project’s GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
For programming languages that I don’t read, I usually use the AUR.

Also,

  • GoG for games
  • Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
  • AppImage sometimes
InverseParallax ,

God that’s painfully me.

Except I moved to lxc and zfs with homebrew scripts for most now, pass containers around the network like candy, including an arch lutris one.

Wow a reference to those Mac Vs PC ads from like 15 years ago

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

They stopped that ad campaign about 15 years ago, and they started it closer to 20 years ago.

HouseWolf ,

AUR or flatpak.

Honestly the longer I spend daily driving Linux the more I enjoy using flatpaks…

gencha ,

OCI

299792458ms OP ,

What is that?

MajorHavoc ,

They probably mean Open Container Initiative (OCI), the protocol shared by Podman and Docker.

InverseParallax ,

Wow, this escalated quickly.

PrimeErective ,

For some reason the first time I read it, I thought it was an “L” so now I always call them “Apple mages”

pmc ,

I try my hand at packaging it for my distro.
