  1. 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.

  6. 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.

    #linux #LinuxMint #linux_distro #wine #flatpack #LibreOffice

  7. @miekg Oh... I feel you are an expert there :)

    My path have started from gentoo with emerge with later various distro hops, like OpenSuse Ubuntu Mint Debian, etc.

    But deep dive Gentoo I liked the most, since it had the least issues with packages. The reason I've never came back there, is a compilation time.
    I remember how I built KDE for more than 20 hours (Celeron 2.4 in early 2000s).

    After many years in MacOS (right now it's also a primary OS, Arch is only on a big PC), it's really confusing that many things are not available without hacks.
    In MacOS Homebrew made it so simple, it's hard to accept that Linux may have so many complications with a package distributions.

    It looks like snap or flatpack should fix this issue, but they don't. Many things from snap don't work or do not available, flatpack the same.

    Installing Homebrew in Linux does not feel right.

  8. With flatpack assembly done I am ready to take that MENSA enrolment test now!

  9. @brie Jednym z założeń #flatpack była niezależność od bibliotek systemowych, co jes jego plusem i minusem jednocześnie
    @emill1984

  10. @emill1984 Dziełem szatana, czy właściwie Canonical(niedaleko jeden od drugiego...), są snap-y, a #flatpack nie jest wcale zły :-D
    Za to nigdy jakoś nie skusiłem się na #appimage

  11. 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 😈

  12. Got #GeforceNow via #Flatpack running on @CachyOS using gist.github.com/Edu4rdSHL/7a47.

    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 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.

  13. 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.

  18. "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.

  20. Dear 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...

  21. 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. 🙄

  22. #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?

  23. #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

  31. I have a George story.

    For those who came in late, George is our very large and very dumb house rabbit. He's a mutt, brown with one lop ear and one erect, and weighs somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8 kg - 17 pounds. We haven't weighed him in a long time, because he's not a fan of being picked up, so it's stressful.

    Anyways... last night I went to give him a treat before I went to bed. He has one of those flat-packed wooden cottages that you fit together with tabs and slots, and generally overnights in it. He's generally in there some time before I go to bed.

    So I got the treat, came to the cottage, and called him as usual. He was in the cottage in the opposite direction of his usual way - and even though there are entrances at both ends, he couldn't figure out how to get out... 🤣 He kept trying to turn around inside the cottage, and he's too big for that.

  32. Trying to install #Librewolf on current #Kubuntu ... it installs fine from #extrepo but the current version (136) is a bit broken when it comes to font handling (on some sites) and it also adds about two thousand pixels of horizontal padding in a text input field. Which the recent Firefox update (135) doesn't do, so I'd like to downgrade to Librewolf 135 but don't see an option with extrepo. Tried to install #Flatpack to see if it was available there but the Flatpack site seems to be down. 😞

  34. Yesterday we packed the car again and set off with another load of #furniture, only some of it #flatpack, and other supplies to make the #cottage in #PrestonBrook habitable.

    Guess who got in #trouble when unloading the car at our destination? My #excuse is there's 30 yards of muddy #towpath to walk along to reach the cottage.

  35. Quid des #OS #atomiques qui fonctionnent aux #Flatpack ou aux #Snap (comme chrome OS) ? Je me pose d'énormes questions suite à la sortie de la prochaine #LTS d'#Ubuntu. J'ai un peu peur de la qualité des paquets Snap ou Flatpack et aussi de leur lourdeur comparée aux dépôts classiques. J'ai un petit SSD sur mon portable et me disais que, pour lui, il ne vaut mieux pas que je passe à un OS atomique. Mais peut-être que je me trompe ? @jorsste ) @alainmi11 @rheinandco

  36. How to update #chromium on @ubuntu ?

    1. enter #snap refresh
    2. Notice that the estimated download time is about 4h
    3. After two hours notice, that #snap is not joking
    4. Abort #snap refresh
    5. #snap remove chromium
    6. Follow the instructions at github.com/ungoogled-software/
    7. Have an update of chromium after 5 minutes.

    #snap #sucks #alot

    use #flatpack
    use #appimage

    I think I'll completley abandond #ubuntu and move on to @mxlinux instead or @debian

    But this is not acceptable.

  37. Flatpacked Racket distribution for linux users racket.discourse.group/t/flatp

    Racket is a modern lisp and a descendent of scheme. The **Racket distribution** includes an incremental native-code compiler*, the Racket language, Typed Racket & several other languages, IDE, documentation and a variety of other tools. The distribution is suitable for new learners, application development, or language design and implementation.

    (* RacketScript - the Racket implementation that compiles to Javascript - is also available separately) #Racket #RacketLang #RacketLanguage #flatpack #flathub #FlathubApps #Lisp #Linux

  38. Just found out that you can make #hyperlinks to distribution's #desktop #software center! When I hover this link on #Okular website, it shows:

    appstream://org.kde.okular.desktop

    I click it, and #AppStream-compatible #Pamac GUI opens up on my #Manjaro. My consensus is that many #download pages could make opening #package details on #Linux click-away with the help of such #link, hence faster #setup.

  39. #question #linux
    Est-ce que vous connaissais un #magasin d' #application qui permette de géré tous les systèmes d'app en même temp?

    Exemple concret : j'ai #ubunt > par défaut c'est des #snap ou des #deb mais j'ai installé aussi celui de #gnome pour géré les #flatpack via #flathub et j'ai installé aussi des #appImages a la main ( il y a un outil a installer pour géré les mises à jour il me semble ... )

    Vous voyez le problème ??? 😅 🤓
    #Reboost apprécié :) Merci

  40. quelqu'un sait comment dire a un package #flatpack (getting things gnome #gtg) de mettre son dossier de config dans mon dossier #nextcloud ? comme ça ce serait syncro entre mes ordis.
