From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Love these posts. Plus every month you get to see the flatpak haters try to convince us we are using the wrong technology.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Flatpak has its issues, sure, but it’s better and more open than snap, while maintaining utterly simple usability.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Great news! Security and build-release people also hate snap junk.

Same reasons.

Ask us about npm next.

flatpak haters

We like terms like "security professionals" or "build-release engineers" to describe why package validation and provenance is important, as is SSoT for avoiding dependency hell by proxy.

But when you don't understand the real terms, use whatever ya like. Yes, honey, that's the goer-upper, and now we press the button for the floor we want.

ELI5 what is wrong with Flatpak.

Can't see text scroll like hackermens. Takes up a bit more space. Have to copy and paste a directory into flatseal if your folders are separated.
