You are getting down voted but you are right. But if companies making software would support Linux natively this would make a huge difference too and that is not the case now

What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.

Would you mind explaining novodb to me? As a developer how do I use it in my app? Is there an SDK you’re supposed to use or can you just query the database directly?

Fedora? 🙂

Came here to say this

Useful one I find is the z program you can install it with package manager and it’s also included with zsh shell. It’s basically like a smart cd command. Instead of having to type the entire path for cd, when using z you can just type the destination folder and if it’s in your history it will resolve the path by itself.

Least corporate blogpost 💀

How big is your monitor that you can havel 5 windows open at once and you can still see everything sufficiently? Also whats a stacked WM?

At least they work.

I’ve always had issues with Linux that I’m happy to solve and capable of solving but a regular computer user would not know what to do.

What you’re saying is correct but all the things you’re describing are not 100% foolproof. Flatpaks are community maintained and can contain misconfigurations.

Also the sandboxed nature and all these foreign concepts for new users would have a user question why they’re not seeing their folders or why their cursor or theme doesn’t match their system.

These systems are great but they’re not nearly as polished as Windows and Mac.

It’s great for us but Linux has always struggled with any semblance of full polish. I think you’re overestimating the average computer user. Probably Ubuntu based distro’s are still as close as we got to an OS for the regular person.

The introduction of new concept could be mitigated by a proper system of introducing and explaining these to a new user but it’s difficult not to overwhelm them with info or keep them engaged and willing to learn.

TLDR;

True but it’s not that simple

It probably requires a domain name if you want it to be publicly available. SMTP is not required. I’d recommend vaultwarden.

Windows is just constantly trying to distract you from work. It’s slow, hogs resources, kills my battery.

After tinkering a lot I have found a workflow that works great for me on Linux and I couldn’t have found that with windows.

To be honest though. To switch to Linux I’d say you’d have a reason. If you don’t work a techy job and don’t plan on doing so and don’t have much interest in it, you’d just have an easier time with windows.

But let me tell you once you go into Linux with an open mind and willingness to learn, you’ll love it.

The problem occurred on Brave browser using standard KDE.

Anyway this explains it nicely. I guess flatpak itself is ok but a lot of things are in the hands of package maintainers and if they don’t set things up correctly then there will be issues. Makes sense

That’s the thing. The default theme didn’t work. The cursor was like an old looking cursor. Not the default

Appimages are nice. I just would like there to be some hub for them which also enables the appimages to be updated through it. I know about zap for example but it’s not up to par with flathub or the snap store.

We should at least aim for it…

I think it would be good if they expanded the permissions system. Taking inspiration from the android world where it will ask for the permission whenever it needs to access something on the system. This is an ideal world but would take a lot of effort for the maintainers to implement. I guess it needs time to mature. I just hope flatpak devs want to adress the issue eventually… So far I only ever see people just accepting the way it is now and finding workarounds…
