Immigrant

I had to fly to Toronto for work last week

Getting recommended months and years old posts

We know who are those vocal crazy minorities, don't we

We are bringing 1 million low skilled immigrants from third world, the house and renting prices are beyond crazy. Rampant immigrant criminals. We are getting more taxes soon.

This place is a shithole

No, the real engineers design and supervise everything. High skilled technicians assemble everything through the engineers guidance

BC it's easier for the any dev to package their program for flatpaks assuring it'll work in all distributions, otherwise you have to wait for your package manager maintainer to repackage the program for your system. Which is what happens for Arch, debian, Suse, Fedora.

It's not Thunderbird/program responsibility if they decided to make flatpaks the main source of distribution yet you decide to install it through other means. Which idk if they did but more devs are opting to distribute through flatpaks.

What's this, first time hearing about it

It's being replaced by another tec that does use Wayland. All functionalities will still be there

How the fuck are you running 17GB of RAM while almost nothing is open

Even SK have friends and families, touch grass dumbass

look at me, I like being a contrarian outcast

Your meds pal, take them

Terrible news.

the tribe wont allow this

The US of A is governed by dying greedy geriatrics

Generally speaking, the advantages of Flatpaks are:

-The developers only need to maintain and release one version

-It's sandboxed, for each app you can decide which parts of your filesystem are exposed, which env variables, which types of inter-process communications, etc

-You kinda avoid dependency hell. You can use old unmaintained packages because Flatpak will provide old versions of their dependency if they're needed, while at the same time avoiding unnecessarily duplicated packages

-All installed apps are in your .var folder instead of being system-wide. Every app has its own folder with its own .config and .local/share inside, with their respective config files and data

-It supports partial updates

-It doesn't require root permissions to use

-It lets you use the most recent software even in really old LTS systems like Debian, and the Flatpaks updates are usually as quick as rolling release distros

-You don't need to abuse PPAs or the AUR

-It makes your system updates actually faster since you'll have less system packages, and you'll be able to update your big apps separately

I may be missing some, but those are the most important to me
