Has the package manager improved? Can it automatically handle dependencies?

This should be what you're looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb

I use Shotcut instead of Premiere Pro for work. It's much lighter and simpler.

Plug in every USB i find on the ground without fear.

The official software manager on my Fedora system (Discover) presents me with Flatpaks. If I use Discover for updating ,the Flatpaks will update too. But when I use the official CLI tool to upgrade the system only RPM packages are updated. The other package managers on the system are not affected (Flatpaks, Snap, Cargo, PIP). I think there should be no discrepancy between CLI and GUI interfaces for system updates. The fact that I should "remember" how to update stuff shows that something is wrong or is not perfect.

I use Fedora and many of the apps featured on it's default app store have turned out to be flatpaks.

Isn't this the case with all major distros at least?

There was a time when using the update button of Software Center was exactly equal to running "sup apt dist-upgrade". Everything was simple and straightforward.

What you say is true when this is explicitly stated by the OS. When the average user uses the Software app they are presented with many Flatpak results. Flatpaks are presented as offerings by the distro, not something "outside of the distro's package manager." Should the average user be supposed to check the origin of every app and know about Flatpaks?

Plus if you use the most popular distro it already comes with default snap apps.

If I use ubuntu I'm somehow forced to use them.

Even on Fedora the average user is presented with many flatpak results when they use the GUI software manager. Not everyone is technically adept enough to check the origin of the app. So it's kind of being forced on users.

Even if there are workarounds the old approach was superior.

Except it doesn't always work. I've seen it stuck and loading updates forever a few times, while a simple flatpak update command did the job with zero issues.

This and command-not-found

Yeah thank you I fixed the link.

I think easy backup and plain text export should be standard on all note taking apps.

This is the best UI design for a notes app. Ideally I want the voice to text button to be more accessible and not hidden behind the keyboard.

Also syncing to could storage is vital these days.

Use wgcf instead of the main warp app.

You can use max.rethinkdns.com as Android's default dns.
