I have really started to like AppImage. You just download a single file make it executable and it just works.

I use Cursor for coding, and it has an appimage that replaces itself when it updates.

Only tangentially related - but a friend brought over a new kubuntu install and Canonical had the cheek to demand money for VLC patches? They don't fing own VLC. What the actual f is going on over there, Canonical?

Is it backports for an old version?

[-] miguel@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know, this was for a system on kubuntu 24.04, the latest up there. I removed it, replaced it with debian and kde - my friend isn't a gamer, doesn't require anything bleeding edge, so that was just a better choice in our opinion.

What's wrong with Snap?

[-] tsugu@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Everything else is FOSS besides the server and snaps can even be installed locally. I wrote a section of an article about most of the complaints. Most of the complaints I hear are just elitistic bullshit that makes new users confused and spreads misinformation.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
