  • Yeah 100%, I’ve been driving around a bit more today and I’m starting to get the gist of it, it just threw me off the first time it happened cuz it happened while tryna merge lol. I’m used to using my hands for the throttle as I got my bike license first, its not a 1:1 transfer aha

    Edit: I should add that I’m in the UK and I’m learning, I’ve done alot of lessons and my instructor says I’m test ready. I’ll be doing it in a manual but I wanted some experience on the road without the pressure of an instructor before my test in a couple of months so I’m driving a family members car. It’s much more powerful than my instructors car so the finesse is really important and I’m not used to it






  • Lmao, why are you so agressive? It’s a packaging format not bloody politics. I never complained about anything, I stated that one package format was broken and the flatpak wasn’t. The mere existence of flatpaks does not and will never threaten the traditional packaging method, or it’s QA. Flatpaks merely provide smaller developers an easy way to get their application published, as well as end users a stress free way to install said apps. And yes, they can range from good to dogshit, that comes with the territory of leaving it entirely up to the publishers, but I think Linux users are capable of identifying which flatpaks are dogshit and which aren’t. Also what do you mean my home dir is probably exposed? Like it isn’t exposed when I install a regular package? Remember the steam bug that just completely wiped your install because they made an assumption with a single variable? Buggy software will always exist, at least with flatpak you can limit an apps access to your system


  • It’s kinda one size fits all solution. It allows Devs to build their package one way and have it on pretty much every distro, which is a major sticking point for Linux apps. I don’t see why you would use a flatpaks if your distro has the software already though. I use flatpaks alot less now that I’ve moved to endeavour from fedora. The AUR is a godsend.

    Also flatpak doesn’t add to dependency hell, the dependencies it installs are also flatpaks and are completely separate from the system. Recently the arch package of steam simply stopped launching proton games for some reason, I thought I messed something up on my system so I rolled to an old btrfs snapshot and it still didn’t work. However the flatpak version of steam just works.
