Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.
Probably the black sea, dad.
The best version of the Signal app was back when it was available as an actual web app.
It’s because it’s an electron app. So in addition to the chat app itself, it also includes a full Chromium runtime. Worse still, the Electron architecture doesn’t really lend itself towards reusing electron itself; this means you might have several copies of the same version of electron on your machine for various apps.
People complain about the sizes of things like flatpaks and snaps, but tbh the whole architecture of applications is like this these days. Ironically, flatpaks and snaps could help with this because their formats can work decently with filesystem level deduplication.
Because they’re doing it by mistake. They’re intending to register to vote as independent (no party aligned) voters, seeing “Independent” under party, and choosing that.
Yeah that’s solidly it. I use strictly confined CLI snaps all the time. (In fact, I maintain the snaps for a couple of CLI apps.) They work fine as long as the snap has the right plugs.
But I don’t want to have to run flatpak run dev.htop.htop
to get to htop.
I thought one of the main advantages of sodium-ion batteries was price? Great for the applications you listed
A person of good taste, I see…
GenoPro. I don’t use Windows for it, as it’s packaged with wine as a snap.
I think the Kubuntu folks are mostly working on polishing Plasma 5.27 for Kubuntu 24.04 right now, but I would bet that shortly after its release we’ll see 6.0 in the backports PPA.
I doubt that’ll be available for 23.10 though, as it’ll mess up the upgrade to 24.04.
I’ve used KDE Neon on my desktop pretty much since KDE Neon came to be. I don’t care too much about having the latest kernel and libraries on that machine (the hardware is a decade old - support’s not really getting better), and between the latest KDE and getting most of my other apps through snaps I’ve got the latest and greatest of what I care about there.
That’s what xwayland is.
Apps can talk to xwayland with the x11 protocol but instead of an X server rendering it, your Wayland compositor renders it.
The restrictions come from the fact that those x11 behaviours are exactly things the industry has decided are a bad idea and should be replaced.
The transition for me was “install Pipewire and its pulseaudio compatibility package, remove pulseaudio, reboot.”
There are a couple of quirks (updating Apparmor rules makes KDE think I’ve reattached all my audio devices), but it’s mostly pretty smooth.
What Flatpak stores are there in widespread use other than flathub? (Additional servers that depend on the runtimes flathub distributes don’t count.)
If someone hacks Canonical, they can make the whole Snap Store an attack vector without nearly as much effort.
So basically the same as if someone hacked flathub? Or if someone hacked Canonical/Debian/Red Hat/whoever and gained access to their package signing key?
Remember Upstart?
Yeah, the worst implementation of it I had to deal with was a CentOS 6 system.
The best implementation I’ve used is probably my Chromebook.
The packages in most distros will also restart the server for you. Any existing SSH sessions will technically be running in vulnerable versions, but if I’m understanding the vulnerability correctly this isn’t a problem, as they won’t be trying to authenticate a user.
If you want to be sure, you can manually restart the ssh server yourself. On most distros
sudo systemctl restart sshd
should do it.
