Turns out this is also available in Alpine repositories, so I went ahead and installed it on my phone. Could come in handy when browsing from public Wi-Fi or such. Thanks for the tip.

I turn it off every night or if I'm away for many hours, so about 10 minutes right now.

I do have a Raspberry Pi that's been up 12 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 59 minutes. I believe there was a planned power outage when it was lasted turned off.

Is it though? Is it? Though?

For a slight change of pace, I'm reading Shou Arai's manga At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender before starting the second book of The Wheel of Time, The Great Hunt.

And nothing of value will be lost.

Yup, Konsole is good enough.

Jules Verne is good for a beginner, I think. Yes, the books are old, but they still stand up. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is great.

For graphic novels, I feel like recommending Transmetropolitan and V for Vendetta. Both are dystopian sci-fi.

When I was a teenager, in the long-long-ago, I started reading the local translations of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I would sit at the kitchen table, drinking big cups of water and reading while everyone else had gone to bed already. Sometimes our cat would wander in to kitchen and I'd pet him. It is a fond memory. I think I eventually got almost half way through the series when I dropped it for what ever reason, I forget.

I recently bought the first three books and I'm reading through The Eye of the World, the first book in the series, in English. It felt like the right time to see if I'd still like the books. They are heavy tomes, so I can't guarantee I'll read all of it, but I'll give it a go.

"There is no God and we are his prophets." I quite liked that book. I hope it's hopeful world helps you escape reality for a moment.

Now does flatpak get it’s programs from the same place that terminal would?

I usually install Flatpaks from the terminal, but as to your question: no, the distro's package manager and Flatpak have different repositories (servers with software packages) and formats. While distros like Fedora have their own Flatpak repositories, most people use Flathub. You can install apps as Flatpak on any distro that supports them, but native package managers generally don't support other distros' repositories.

for some reason everybody hates snaps because canonical owns it.

As I understand it, Snap server software is proprietary and doesn't support independent repositories, so you have to install Snaps from Canonical. This is not exactly in line with Free (as in Freedom) Software principles. Canonical has done many questionable decisions in the past.

Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood something. From what I remember, this post is more or less an accurate description of what to expect.
