Glad to see a lot of the bugs are getting fixed. Even though I have not experienced most of those. Especially the minimizing dolphin thing. Mine does not have that issue.
Definitely not all of the same functionality. Latte Dock was a rather huge dock program out of all of the ones available. I believe they added two or three of the major features though. Which is good enough for most.
I use them for some things and I think they are fine. Mostly apps that are kinda messy and I want to keep them and their atrocious dependency tree away from my base system. I also like to use them for proprietary apps or apps where I actually want to use the sandbox. Other than that I prefer native packages 99% of the time.
Flatpak is slower to update than pacman, the cli interface just doesn't feel good to use. There is the weird naming, no real way to get a dependency tree, can't hide those annoying eol messages even for apps that I specifically don't want to update. Another thing is that not every app was made to run in a sandbox or it is just more difficult to use sometimes.
A lot of people tend to cite ide's, but in my case I was having issues with the steam flatpak. Running games with steam was fine, but anytime I wanted to hook up something third party eg: mods, cheat engine, etc. Doing so in the flatpak either required some tinkering around the sandbox or straight up didn't work.
I feel like that last sentence sums up the whole experience. If you just need to point and click and have it work. Flatpak does that amazingly. If you need any kind of integration with other things, expect problems.
Edit: just wanted to add that, the whole point and click and work is fine for 99% of people which is why I and many others choose to use it.
Don't we just send people caught with such materials to jail then? Regardless of if it was AI generated or not. If it is made to look like them then clearly shouldn't be in your possession without their consent.
I was using the flatpak version on arch for a while with no issues up until I started getting into modding and stuff. I ended up switching to the native version. Some issues were easy to fix by just granting permission to access a certain folder. Other issues I never figured out. Most importantly though, the vast majority of guides and tools simply don't assume flatpak which means that resources and community help is a bit more scarce. I think it is because of people that use the steam deck which is an immutable os that I was able to figure out anything regarding the various different things you may need to do in order to get different kinds of mods and programs to run withing the flatpak sandbox.
Seems like the problem is more that they allowed random unverified apps to be uploaded in the first place rather than the suggestion prompt. Even then this seems like a good reason to not recommend unverified sources by default.
Yeah, but it is virtually impossible to read all code running on your machine. At the very least it is an option. While I personally wouldn't search the code of random open source calculator app. I'll be damned if I ain't inspecting something like this.
Cuda is Nvidia's GPU programming toolkit. It has become the de facto standard for machine learning and AI work as well as various other workloads in which running the program on the graphics card is faster than doing so on the cpu.
Edit: There is more that it does, I am just giving a simplified explanation.
This is true for every OS that you don't use regularly though. I have been learning this the hard way since I haven't ran Windows in years, but have started doing so for work. There are lots of little issues that people just seem to not notice anymore because they are used to it.
The conclusion is that they are basically the same except for in cases where vrr is a factor. In those cases kde is better because gnome doesn't currently support vrr.
