So it's only browser-based? No download, no installation to local machine? Or did I miss something?

For the unwashed proletariat without a New Yorker subscription…

Yes, Munich, thank you! 👍

Again? Isn't this the third time or something? Then Microsoft comes along with a briefcase of Euros and the "problem" goes away. Sombody please correct me if I'm mis-remembering.

System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Windows

Although I just skimmed the Rectangle front page, I think this about covers everything you're asking for in Cinnamon...? The default shortcut is Super/Win-arrow.

The Snap Store is run and controlled by Canonical and is not open source. The rest of Snap is open source, meaning the daemon and core software. [emphasis mine] How threatening this is depends on you POV and has been the subject of much discussion.

Thats a lemmy problem

Hmmm...my link in the previous post works. More proof of why Linux has never really taken off with the non-spectrum general public. I guess just following format ([words](https://your.lousy.link)) or -- god forbid -- you select a word, click the link button and paste just isn't esoteric enough...?

In any case, I see that you edited your post to cover your tracks fix Lemmy's error.

isnt proprietary like snap

Is it true that Snap has proprietary server?

And speaking of completely flawed, your link doesn't work.

Anyway, thanks for berating informing me about AppImage but it's the closest thing on Linux to app bundles which IM<HO is the sanest way to package applications.

🤦‍♂️

Speaking of which, didja hear that for the upcoming Easter holiday, Amazon is offering a special gift basket of northern Israeli cheeses.

They're calling it Cheeses of Nazareth.

Easy, tiger. I think you misinterpreted my original reply.

I meant the whining about the two (systemd and flatpak) isn't strictly OR but may be AND. Have a nice day.

My totally unscientific opinion (with a double-your-money-back guarantee!):

I'm not crazy about either Flatpak or Snap for that matter as there's so much backend baggage for both as well as certain hurdles regarding privileges and access to the file system (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong or working with dated information.)

My other completely prejudiced, unfounded bias against Flatpak is that it appears to have been adopted by RedHat as "the one true way," and what with IBM's/RedHat's behaviour anti-FOSS behaviour lately, plus I've almost always have been an apt user, I find it a pill hard to swallow.

Me, say what you will about the security issues and its other flaws, but I like AppImage.

The two whines are not mutually exclusive. ¯(ツ)¯

Thanks for this! Quoting from the first comment on the linked article's page&hellip;

Wonderful story I can't believe I didn't know.

Thank you for that.

Ahh...I get it...I saw the title and thought it was about IBM's OS/2 in an "out of the box," uncustomized state, hence "Vanilla OS 2" code-named Orchid...oh, never mind already.

Wayland is still in development and the bandwagoning are the early adopters

Not to bust your chops but I'm not sure what you're implying. What isn't still in development? WordStar? X11? Mac System 7? And Wayland's initial release was 2008. That's 15 years ago. Who are these "early adopters" of which you speak anymore?

Scram, tin man.
