I didn't say they were. Hence the second link.

That was my first thought upon finding it. It's really hard to find though, even if you know the name of it.

if you have a flatpak with an uncommon library

In this case, you're responsible for packaging it yourself. This usually means specifying the git URL and build options in the manifest. You can see Krita doing this in their manifest because they don't depend on the KDE Platform, as they need much older dependencies. So they're responsible for over 1000 lines worth of dependencies.

The Freedesktop Platform is essentially a distribution unto itself, and I don't think there's ever been a case of dependencies in that distribution not being kept up-to-date.

Distro libs are less likely to have this happen because very few distros have a bus factor of 1—there’s usually someone who can take over.

Well...debatable. There were over 1200 orphaned packages in Debian last year, many of which had not been maintained in over 3 years.

Yes.

That's a great explanation! Thank you, I get it now. I always did wonder what exactly IPC was about. Yay for Rust in the kernel.

I rebase! I just don't want to push to the main repo, pull it down, rebase and force push to it. Pushing to a disposable branch is an obvious solution I didn't see, haha. I tend to not use branching a lot in my projects...

...I guess I could actually set up my desktop as a remote too, huh.

My very first thought. At the same time, it brought to mind stories of Richard Stallman's "blank password" protest shenanigans...

How about Google SearchWiki? Or even just starring results?

This is from an era when Google hosted their blog on a Blogspot subdomain.

AppIndicators are a popular one. I have the extension installed for Fcitx (though I usually never touch it, instead using keyboard shortcuts). I previously used IBus for my input method, but because I often switch between GNOME and Sway, I've found Fcitx a better option. I so rarely use my phone that I don't need KDEConnect. And Fcitx has built-in clipboard history—not that I use it anyway.

I also wonder about Nix and Guix. But I never seriously consider Gentoo.

Are those really important thing I should have configured? The only safety thing I have is LUKS encription.

Ubuntu configures AppArmor by default, Fedora sets up SELinux, openSUSE also sets up SELinux to some extent—most major distributions except Arch do it, because you're installing it yourself. I recommend looking into it. AppArmor and SELinux are essentially about preventing privilege escalation. Here's a good place to start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Apparmor

SELinux is an absolute pain to understand and setup, so it's good that Fedora does it.

Oh! Super handy, thank you! I was just considering how I might use dconf to get this setup.

I haven't tried it out yet but it seems like it would work well!

You can build visual novels in Ren'Py, which uses only Python, but that might not be what you're looking for.
