1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    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 remove France.

    I only use flatpack when I need the most up to date version of a software for whatever reason.

    Lots of people seem to like it. I also use it for like 2 or 3 desktop apps, but it's alao littering my filesystem with gigabytes of runtimes. And I believe I can salely remove Skype now...

    Who likes having their hard drive space wasted?

    [–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

    No one does, but people like it when you install an application and it just works. It makes it easier to install applications regardless of which distro you’re on as well.

    [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

    The benefits easily outweighs the cost of some extra space use. We're not talking about a lot here, after all, with dedupping, shared runtimes and what have you.

    People who like having fine-grained security controls over their apps?

    Everyone brazenly saying Flatpak is the best install package management system has stockholm syndrome.

    [–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

    Like much software, it's great - for some situations. And ugly for others.

    what kind of app only bundles a flatpak? Surely there's manual install instructions?

    [–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

    Definitely, no way the git doesn't have info on how to build it from source or at least a Deb package download. I assume it's people who are annoyed their distro doesn't have that software in the repos but it's on flathub.

    I see DLL Hell is still going strong...

    [–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Is it on the Arch User Repository?
