  • 6a has a plastic back and is smaller. I want a phone not a tablet and it shouldnt crack.

  • Appimages work "everywhere" so they are better for distributing malware.

    Flatpaks are normally not installed from random sources and I hope it stays like that.

    So yes and no.

  • Installing .deb files from random sources is also very insecure and not reliable for updates.

  • Interesting, didnt know that.

    Snaps are only somewhat secure on Ubuntu, at least to my state of knowledge. Only on Ubuntu do they have the Apparmor profiles to isolate apps.

    I think Fedora Atomic is just better for most cases. KDE got their stuff together mostly (I will not want to use a stable version until 6.3 or something) and the rest of Fedora never breaks for me.

  • No youre not. Calyx is a joke, sorry. DivestOS may be okay but its still very different from GrapheneOS.

    And no tiny custom Android can fix the issue that hardware manifacturers will not supply a single byte of firmware updates after their contract is done.

  • Flatpaks will always be a little slower, notably if you are on slow storage media.

    Yes this is all native messaging I suppose. Flatpak apps can query an app list, just look at flatseal. So I think querying the installed flatpaks and handing it over to the system portal where you then choose the desired app is the modern workflow for this.

    You might want to request that Digikam etc. implement portals for this file opening. Firefox can do for example but of course these are limited as long as apps dont modernize their workflow

  • Yeah I tried the ubuntu version through Distrobox, which is way more secure. But they have no repo, and it broke apt lol.

    Appimages are completely insecure, there are literally no updates. Its a random bundle of libraries, as old as possible to work on every old kernel, and they are just broken by design (see an old post of mine).

    There is flatpak packaging work done and I want to learn that and help, as Flatpak is just the best.

  • I looked at RHEL pricing but damn hell no.

    The rest is even more outdated than Debian, so just use Debian.

    In general stable Desktops are not enjoyable. You will basically not want to read Linux News anymore as you wont be getting any of that.

    Its good for enterprises, where policies dont need to change etc. Also in combination with Flatpak and EPEL it may work somehow, but its just worse than using some normal Distro I heard.

  • Aaand only ugly colors again. Google, what about dark blue, silver or other normal colors?

    And glass back too? Such a garbage

  • Yeah, so no Pixel 8a? What the hell will I buy when the last half-tolerable Pixel (6a) gets no updates anymore?

  • Thats probably still not possible over ssh.

  • Polkit rule, if you remove the requirement on subject local then it should work without

  • Who uses YT music when there are so many free clients?

  • No its the best lemmy app in my experience

  • This matches very well with this talk of an OpenSuse microOS maintainer doing a followup on his thoughts of Appimages, Snaps and Flatpak.

    Spoiler: Flatpaks are the only ones that work.

  • And firmware updates haha

  • Lol thats an interesting idea

  • Yeah the webUI is horrible. Jerboah is the best FOSS app

  • Psssst, come to the side of the funny penguins.

    I recommend a silverblue-surface image from ublue.it
