BYD Seal looks good. I would buy one if I had the choice!

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. Thanks, I'll try Flathub. Manually reviewing the PKGBUILD is beyong my capabilities.

Vic20 😆 -> C64 -> AmigaOS -> MacOS -> Slackware (much frustration!) -> MacOS -> Ubuntu -> EndeavourOS

I don’t use Ubuntu myself but I put Zorin on my dad’s computer. He 82 and he doesn’t know what an operating system is. He seems to be able to use it though 🤷

I don’t get the anger. Just install your software as snaps. What’s the problem?

Amiga Workbench called them drawers. I'm sticking with drawers.

I stopped using Facebook 10 years ago, but I'm loathed to actually delete my account because every once in a while, a long lost friend or relative contacts me there. It would be a shame to lose touch with people. Ultimately I care about that more than privacy. It's the same with Whatsapp. I've made a concerted effort to convince my immediate family to try XMPP, Delta Chat and Signal, but they just won't install another app unless everyone they know is using it. I find it a bit frustrating, but that's reality. So I have to keep using Whatsapp.

Me too. I've tried to get friends and family to join the fediverse, but they won't, because they're happy with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I think they might join Threads though if there's a huge critical mass of people on there. I would like a way to interact with them on social media without logging onto Facebook or Instagram myself.

Cluster has a newer version than the MetaArray.
