One must wonder, how do things like this keep happening?
>>
Flatpak already has age verification code.
You should've flushed that turd already.
>>
>>108906492
Flatpak is the only way to make tinkertrannymaxxed distros like Guix or obscure trash still work as a daily driver.
You must understand, BILLIONS of desktop threads will die because of this move. People now will have to rely on lying on their neofetch config or using a VM just for that.

nobody uses flatpaks unless they're brand new to linux or brainwashed monkeys, if you are on a systemd free system you aren't going to waste space on slow bloated packages

I switched from Ubuntu to Debian/Opensuse because Firefox only as a snap (and forced snap upgrades). I do not want two packet managers. I will not use Flatpak, Pip must not install anything. One single package manager it is. Only appimage is ok if a program is not in a repo.

Appimage wins yet again. guess people do actually get it right the first time

I seriously, for the life of me, can't fathom why AppImage isn't the default software distribution method by now. It embodies everything FOSS represents: easy of use and freedom no matter what distro you use. Hell I'm sure AppImage could become OS-gnostic in the future.
But noooo autists have to over complicate things just to struck their epeens.
>>
>>108907960
Because people are retarded and didn't bundle all their dependencies, so if you weren't running an up to date version of the lase Ubuntu x.10 it was broken. Though appimage could benefit an automated bubblewrap system and read/write variant.

Switched over to appimages for most of the flatpaks I was using months ago. Superior format anyway, if you're not into security theatre that's irrelevant to most people.

have you seen how they treat people online? you get what you give. these colossal losers of the open source world are in no position to complain. i've been involved in open source software development since the 1990s. we had to deal with all kinds of lolcows via BBS mail, e-mail and via the fucking post office. shit mail? deleted/shredded. but we weren't spiteful losers that had mental breakdowns and played the victim card while pushing a political agenda. these fucking losers in flatpak can't even do their jobs and make software better. it's all about political ideology and who is sucking on their diseased and tiny cocks.

No, i'd rather have a controlled environment for every software in case of an attack. In GrapheneOS you can pretty much just relax because even if the program is trying to do harm, the sandboxing won't let him. I want the same for my desktop

flatpak's sandboxing is notoriously bad, was broken for like a decade or more, many apps had/have it misconfigured to be too lax, and it mostly gets in the way of things working properly. If you don't trust the software don't run it or run it in a VM.
>>

>>108915927
Not at all. You're just saying it to be contrarian. AppImages cannot share libraries between them, are not sandboxed, don't have an built-in update method or rollback method, cannot integrate with the desktop environment properly, have issues with glibc or the kernel version, etc.

AppImage is superior to Flatpak only in a specific usecase: executing an app direclty from a USB drive.

>>108907005
and now theres flatpaks and freepaks. Honestly i thought AppImage was quite perfect aside of many of them still depending on your system glibc. if AppImages came with their own glibc packaged in they would last forever and the linux packaging problem would finally be solved. but as with flatpak and your new freepak it all depends on whether devs choose to use it or not.
>>
>>108906490
>flatpak
>snap
I've always preferred appimages, why does anyone use flatpak and snap when they're both controlled by big corporations (redhat and canonical)
>>
>>108916721
Because FOSStards are retarded and refuse to accept the beautiful simplicity of AppImages due to some bullshit concerns that pale in comparison to the metric fuckton of shit you have to deal with Flatpaks and Snaps. Even Torvalds himself considered AppImages as a neatly elegant way to solving the never ending liability that is lack of sensible software distribution on the Linux desktop that has always been a bigger detriment to it's adoption than all the windmill fighting the Linux community has been engaged with for three decades, like the DE's not aping Windows well enough. No one will bother using your OS if it has no software, AppImages could've solved that, but they've been continuously rejected and shat on for no good reason, other than the Linux community being mouthbreathing drooling retards ever since they've decided to go on a crusade against Windows and refusing to actually work on quality software.

I have my own backup and rollback solution for my system. Also just keep the old appimage around wtf are you talking about.
>cannot integrate with the desktop environment properly
Yeah cause flatpaks integrate greatly lol.

Fucking kek.

How do imbeciles here keep being so right about shit like this? How do we do it?
Also Poettering using an anarchy symbol is laughable.
Right now Linux is STILL too centralised and is becoming more centralised as the world finally switches to it.

The main problem causing this are human limitations (new users learning the ins and outs enough to be independent). A growing problem is hardware manufacturing monopolies forcing specific architectures. The hardware monopolies in all countries need to be broken. It's making inefficient software.

>How do imbeciles here keep being so right about shit like this?
It's obvious because flatpak is a Red Hat project, just like systemd, wayland and pipewire.
Red Hat wants to integrate all these stuff into one big blob, it's no wonder
>>
Don't like it, don't use it

>>108906490
Are people finally realizing that they 100% have a backdoor in systemd and that this is the reason they are forcing it so hard, or is the denial still strong?

Where's your permission-based sandboxing?
>>
>>108915966
>AppImages cannot share libraries between them, are not sandboxed, don't have an built-in update method or rollback method
Correct. The entire point of AppImages is to distribute programs, with dependencies included, as self-contained executables, outside the package management + repository paradigm. The developer or the user can handle sandboxing, updates, and rollbacks on their own, if they feel like it.

>cannot integrate with the desktop environment properly, have issues with glibc or the kernel version, etc
Lmao. Flatpak desktop integration is atrocious, and I have never encountered the other issues, because I don't use random AppImages without vetting (same way I wouldn't use a program through flatpak without vetting).

>AppImage is superior to Flatpak
