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.

Its easy. If you have a problem, report it. Instead of arguing about it they may have already fixed it.
If you want to run a proprietary app unconfined, do so.
But you also have to admit that reading some git config in a non flatpak directory is actively against the sandboxing principle, and thus requires manually allowing that access.
Sure, flatpaks need more popups that do exactly that.
Dividing "GUI apps" and other packages is easy. Go to a store, if it has an icon, install it via flatpak, if it has no icon, then you may not do that.
Appstream metadata so to speak.
Agreed.
okay maybe stop being so rude? Flatpak is the possibility for a secure system. We see how painfully slow adoption for that is on every Desktop, mac and windows too.
But it is great to have this, and I am sure we could make your Pycharm work by applying that override. The rest has to be done by the developers and it is important to care.
It is the same as with wayland, people need to change their software to ask for permission, follow standards and dont do weird shit. Only then the UX is solved.
And by the way what is stopping you from just using some apps as native system apps, and flatpak for the rest?
Dude, you're the one being rude. I was done with this conversation yesterday and you just keep coming back like it's an argument you can "win" by insisting that I think like you and change my behaviour to be like you.
You started the whole thread looking for input and when you didn't get the response you wanted you just berated the respondents telling then how wrong they were.
I'm done here. You've forced me to go digging around Lemmy to see if there's a block function.
Ok strange. I gave you a good and not one sided response.
Like, totally strange. I dont see how my comment could have been offending in any way. You had a specific problem leading to a generalized conclusion.
