Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

Flatpak is simply a sandboxed application, similar to a Docker container. Its better to have natively installed applications over sandboxed if you are seeking the highest level of performance.

This is bullshit. Containers run natively on your system just like "native" [sic] applications.

They literally say they are a fucking container tool like Docker in their own FAQ , you silly person.

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

That’s not what the FAQ says, rather it says Flatpaks are often sandboxed but not fully containerized. Containers don’t need to have a performance penalty because they run on the same kernel as the host. Container tech applies a chroot, disables some capabilities within the container and that’s about it. They are in contrast to virtual machines that need to boot an entire additional OS before doing anything.

Looks like I don't understand how it works and should simply shut the fuck up instead of spreading nonsense.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

That's not what they were refuting. They were just saying that containers run on the metal just like any other software.

🙂

Read again. You completely misunderstood.

What's a container that doesn't run natively on the system called?

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

There is no such thing.

Containers are just separated from the rest of your system by cgroups. You can even see the executable running in containers with ps and top. They're native binaries running on the same kernel as the rest of your system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
