#flatpack — Public Fediverse posts

One thing Linux (and esp. #NixOS) needs is a simple wrapper script that starts random executables in a container but with GUI access and with the ability to open files through a portal.

Wasn't #flatpack supposed to do something like that?

Maybe I should start looking into how to build my own ones. And then write a small wrapper script or something.

basically I want to double click random binaries and them to just start (partially) isolated. Similar to e.g. Android Apps.

You really have to appreciate the part in IKEA's instructions where they remind you to have a friend help you smash it to pieces.

Tried to install a program from #flatpack today. 3Gb on disk. Struggled for a few minutes trying to get the scroll work properly. Gave up and installed a native app instead, 5Mb on disk.

At the moment out of box flatpack experience is odd, at least for uninitiated.

I get that they are shipping whole "works on my machine" to users, but I have my own style, font, control, etc preferences. Plus having to type the whole abomination on the command line is meh.

Will try again next year :)

Oh great, another groundbreaking revelation: someone ranked #IKEA products by how fast you can lose your #sanity assembling them. 🙄🔧 As if we needed a reminder that buying flat-pack #furniture is akin to enrolling in a #DIY obstacle course. Just what the internet was missing—a non-affiliated fan club keeping score! 🎉

#Linux desktop dla kolegów z biura?

Żonie zrobiłem #LMDE i oboje jesteśmy zadowoleni bo od tamtej pory nie zgłosiła żadnych problemów.

Ale boje się że ludzie poinstalują jakieś gówniane flatpaki, bo Mintowy sklep to #flatpack hub, i będą narzekać że apki wyglądają gównianie i nie mają dostępu do ich plików...

I’ve been after a smallish chair side table for ages & struggled to find what I wanted.
I’ve just finished putting this together & it’s not fancy, but it also wasn’t expensive. I’m happy with it anyway. Perfect height & extra room underneath. It’ll do 😁. The only thing left over is the allen key, so I did it correctly. #FlatPack.

Von #Flatpack und co halte ich gar nichts.

Da geben sich Leute viel Mühe ein stabiles System zu schaffen und dann wird drumherum installiert & beim Distriupdate gehts in die Hose

Am Ende wird auf #Linux rumgehackt
Selbst hier schon gelesen.

Das ist zudem auch gar nicht nötig.

Immer die neueste Version haben zu müssen funktionierte schon mit #Win nicht richtig

Gerade Anfänger sollten sich in Sachen Sicherheit lieber den Distris anvertrauen als selber rumpfuschen

Shame about the deadpan narration, but this #FlexiArch system is very elegant engineering.

It is a clever new way of building pretty and durable #arch #bridges using a #flatpack system. (IKEA victims, relax: no screws or bolts involved).

FlexiArch was invented by Prof #AdrianLong of #QUB, who was also the father-in-law of #NorthernIreland's Alliance Party leader #NaomiLong ... who is herself an engineer.

Perhaps it is time that I do some more distro-hopping. Although I thoroughly enjoy using Linux Mint, this is the second time in the past week that I've wanted a more recent release of some of the software I use than what is in Mint's repositories. First, it was the latest version of LibreOffice. I was able to switch to the Flatpack version without issue. Now, I find myself wanting to use the latest release of wine to run some windows-only software that I use for my job.

@brie Jednym z założeń #flatpack była niezależność od bibliotek systemowych, co jes jego plusem i minusem jednocześnie

Dlaczego w swiecie #Linux.a #Flatpack.i sa tak pogardzane? Juz ktorys raz spotykam sie z opinia, ze sa dzielem szatana xD
A dla mnie sa spoko, sa bardziej naturalna wersja programu do zainstalowania na systemie jak te nieszczesne #AppImage - to jest dopiero dzielo szatana 😈

Got #GeforceNow via #Flatpack running on @CachyOS using https://gist.github.com/Edu4rdSHL/7a477bad90379e638d544252583d37f5.

Then I can launch the app on the dedicated GPU using __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow

My issue is that the XBOX 360 (bluetooth) buttons' mapping seems to be correct on https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad but it's completely messed up in the games.

I tried to deactivate the Steam Input option but it doesn't help.

Is installing a 10MB-large software really going to take 3.6GB with flatpack?
If no, there's something that needs to be done with the software manager (here in Mint) to not confuse users.
If yes, just whoa.

"Mon scanner ne marche pas"

Moi : installe le driver du scanner, et... Lance simple-scan. En effet, ça marche pas.

Tiens c'est marrant simple-scan est pas installé ? Ça doit être un flatpak.

Montre a la personne qu'on doit pouvoir installer la bonne version dans la logithèque... ...N'apparaît pas dans la logithèque

Console. Je désinstalle le flatpak, install le deb, ça marche.

..Et j'ai une goutte de plus de raison de ne jamais installer d'Ubuntu. C'est quoi cette blague.

Dear https://zoom.us, I appreciate you having a #Zoom client package that works on #Linux, that's mighty nice of you as I need that software to run for me and I appreciate it being native in my chosen OS. However, if you're gonna update the software really, really, really often (like you're doing these days) could you just take that one extra step and stop making me manually download and install a .deb file for every update? You can choose from multiple other options, like a #Flatpack, or an #Aptitude compatible solution.

Not to be ungrateful, but, well, seriously...

I did check for a #Librewolf update too but there doesn't seem to be one yet. (136.02 installed.) So still stuck with problem font handling.

Also checked again to see if a #flatpack version was available, but flatpack.org still has a dodgy ssl certificate as viewed from Librewolf and doesn't show up at all in Firefox (perhaps due to scripting being off, not sure). Either way ... very far from encouraging. 🙄

#AskFedi #flatpack #furniture
I've a 17 year old low-line entertainment unit and one of the plastic supports has shorn off while I was cleaning. There is a very tiny amount of it sticking out, but not enough for me to get a grip with pliers. How can I get it out? It's a fairly tight fit, as in you would twist it slightly as you pushed it in to go in easier. I'd prefer to not have to drill a new hole. All I can think of is maybe try to glue something to it and then try to pull it out?

#Linux doesn't know how to get unity and gets divided on installation possibilities. They call it freedom of choice, but really is confusing for linux newbies.

Why do we have installers like,

#deb
#rpm
#Flatpack
Fedora-specific Flatpaks
#AppImage
#AUR
#Synaptics
#Snap

Backing up my home folder in the Crostini Linux container on my Chromebook. I'd not been paying attention to how much space flatpack has been consuming. That was a surprise 🙀

I'll be doing some pruning after this.

#Flatpack are showing Slade in Flame at the #MAC in a couple of weeks but it's sold out dammit.

I saw it on telly once in the nineties, it's a gritty gangster movie with pop songs and the band and supporting cast including Tom Conti are brilliant.

I am not a fish finger.
