How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

@tet its great because you can listen to people whine about it now instead of systemd

[-] kingmongoose7877@lemmy.ml 18 points 8 months ago

The two whines are not mutually exclusive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@kingmongoose7877 until someone tells me another way to run 2 python apps one which requires python 2 and one which requires python 3, on the same system, which is EASIER than installing a flatpak, im gonna maintain that they have a use case, even if they aren't idealized package management as we dreamed of

Easy, tiger. I think you misinterpreted my original reply.

I meant the whining about the two (systemd and flatpak) isn't strictly OR but may be AND. Have a nice day.

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.
