Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

Moving something to the trash files folder isn’t the correct way to trash it, since the Trash specification requires storing some metadata for each trash item.

You should use eg. trash-cli instead.

I don’t think they state anywhere that they adhere to semantic versioning.

If you don’t like these breaking changes, this might not be the right software for you (for now).

bwrap wants to have a word with you

they are extra heavy in disk space

While they use more disk space than most native packages, this point is often exaggerated. Flatpak uses deduplication and shared runtimes if multiple apps use the same runtime.

Common libraries like OpenSSL are usually bundled in runtimes. So if my application uses e.g. org.gnome.Platform, I don’t have to update my application if there is a fix in a library of that runtime, I just need to update the runtime.

The runtime is also shared by all applications that use this runtime.

The steam flatpak can’t install udev rules. It works if you install a packacke such as steam-devices on your host system. See https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/wiki#my-controller-isnt-being-detected

This comment didn’t age well.

Although it has always been a pain. Back when I used Nextcloud, I tried Nextcloud Talk which always had less problems for me and was much easier to set up.

Tbe documentaion is a good starting point.

This is exactly what this change is about. Most blurry apps are blurry because they don’t support Wayland (yet/by default) and are running using XWayland.

The only Wayland native software where I had problems with fractional scaling is Qt WebEngine which doesn’t handle scaling correctly.

The worst part about signing up somewhere is the amount of email spam that will land in you inbox. I don’t know about their specific configuration, but by default Discourse (the forum software they use) sends weekly “digest emails” if you haven’t visited the site for a week. So make sure to turn them off.

Any provider that provides access via IMAP/SMTP works fine with a lot of email clients. I personally use mailbox.org.

As clients you can use Thunderbird, Geary or Evolution on the desktop and FairEmail or K9 (which will become Thunderbird for Android) on Android.

There was an issue in the past where the regular mesa-* packages and the mesa-*-freeworld were out of sync which resulted in no longer working DEs for many people if they updated at the wrong time.

Is this still an issue?

(I went back to the regular drivers since I mostly use VP8/9 anyway)

X.com is a centralized internet platform that is known for hatespeech, harmful content and being controlled by a single person with questionable opinions.

Wayland.social is part of a federated internet platform that is known for its diverse communities, independence from any centralized authorities and interoperability with other federated internet platforms.

I want that individual users are able to theme my app. I don’t want that distributors and DEs automatically theme my app and expect that it still works the same.

It’s a bit like websites: I’m absolutely fine if a user wants to inject some CSS in my website. On the other hand, if a browser manufacturer decided to inject CSS into all websites to customize their look, it would be a nightmare for web developers.

Any recent application should respect the global org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme setting. If it doesn’t, you should blame the app developer.

Please don’t automatically generate themes for third-party apps. If an application brings its own styles and icons, it results a weird mix of multiple styles.

If a user wants to style it themselves, they should be able to — at their own risk. But shipping (inherently broken) styles with a distro/DE misrepresents the appplication and creates unnecessary issues for the upstream developers.
