Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Well, currently I use Tumbleweed with just couple of tweaks, but I can't live without things like Yakuake, fish, yt-dlp and bunch of other console commands that are not present in most dostros' defaults. How does atomic distribution handle this? I believe flatpak only has gui applications...

    // I just diacovered Yakuake is there, but I can't imagine how does this specific program integrate with system?

    You can layer basically any RPM onto the base system with rpm-ostree, but it's slow and inefficient, or you can install anything from any distro by spinning a container with Distrobox and exporting the command to your main system.

    The universeal blue family of operating systems also comes with Homebrew, the Linux port of the popular Mac package manager. The idea being that flatpak is for GUI apps and homebrew for the cli

    Oh yeah thanks I forgot about brew. TBH the only uBlue machine I'm currently playing with is destined to be my dad's new computer, so he's not expected to get anywhere near the command line :D

    Pretty sure I installed protontricks from a flatpak too, and that one is a console app. But it depends on some flatpak being available for the app.

    Like the other reply said though, you can use other means to install apps in ways that don't require altering system files.
