@halm @pineapplelover

What is it about flatpaks that bothers you? I am curious. My experience with them is good, except that are sometimes slower to launch.

@GravitySpoiled @notTheCat

Or, even better, use containers to have access to whatever distro/packaging system you want, like Vanilla OS does.

@crypto @Laser Linux desktop is not one thing. If you have a company that standardizes on Gnome, then the software you need to work will work as they will likely have been tested to work. As for work, well, not everyone uses it for work.

@davel @db2 ableist? LOL

@FQQD @p_q if you want that hardware to support something the manufacturer will not support, open source bios can be useful.

@interolivary maybe, but sometimes you just have to accept people at face value.

@interolivary I think he was being facetious and I’ll accept that

@iHUNTcriminals 👍🏼💻🐧

@iHUNTcriminals but why comment on it? An elite user should know that different things work for different people not strut about acting superior because he doesn’t use a DE.

@0x4E4F @imgel then why comment?

@ultra you proved you’re just looking for an excuse to hate these systems.

@ultra @NeoNachtwaechter why would you want to do that?

@yum13241 in which case everything you would need to do that work is available. He’ll, many of the open source apps people will point to as essential will also run an a Mac.

@yum13241 no one forces you to buy a Mac. You get that most people who buy a Mac are likely to be okay with being in the ecosystem just like most people who use Linux know it is not going to run all the Windows apps. I agree that there should be a more open approach to these things, but in an economic system that prizes competition and profit above all things, closed systems tend to become the norm to distinguish them form their competitors.

@zelifcam @chevy9294 I’ve become a fan. I’m not a coder or anything, and I have been able to navigate its package management easily enough. The manual could be made a bit simpler/clearer, but the system itself is not hard to manage.

I’ve been meaning to figure out if I can set up the system and then generate a new configuration file based on what I installed using nix-env

@yum13241 but don’t programs that run on Linux Arm also have to be recompiled?

Don’t misunderstand me, I think there may be cause for Apple to be forced to open their ecosystem more, but operating systems are always unique unto themselves.

@yum13241 @NightAuthor I have to take exception with the idea that Apple makes shit because it is not standard. They are making Macs, so for their platform, that is the standard. If you mean they should have to document their architecture to the outside world, I might agree, but that’s not the world we live in.

Maybe we should have a standards based platform that can be used for opensource platforms like Linux, but that’s an issue Linux hardware developers have to do.

@Caaaaarrrrlll @moist_towelettes you mean by default. Everything in Linux can be changed, so if you like AppArmor, you can use it.

@Blizzard @American_Jesus lol love that

@NegativeLookBehind @cujo @BitingChaos some people don’t have much choice. Their jobs demand it. At least in Linux you’d be able to really sandbox them and route them through filters to prevent spying if you know what you’re doing.
