Additionally it can screw up sometimes. There are known issues with it with OpenSuse, causing either defective repo settings (the detection of the physical media gets mangled) or even unbootable systems. I think this can also happen on some other distros, given Ventoy’s uncommon bootchain.

Given the unexplained blobs as well at least OpenSuse recommends not to use Ventoy.

I thought of Lunduke, but mental outlaw also went down the drain.

Your word in the Linux communities’ hardliners ears. The consistent rejection of isolation concepts seen in Flatpak or Snap by some people go completely beyond me.

It’s the other way around: Fortnite still doesn’t support Linux. Which is good given it contains rootkits.

Then you heard wrong, those are arguably outdated information (how finicky permissions are is rather subjective). And it’s only bloat if you ignore the advantages things like version-pinning offers.

You might confused the speed argument with Snap. Those are noticeably slow.

Why, Flatpak is nice.

It’s not just that your comparison is so far fetched it already disconnected, what you say is also plain wrong. You don’t give up anything in this constellation.

crucifies you anyway

Same. I tried to refund it but couldn’t… thinking about having it deleted from my library anyway. I don’t want sloppy unartistic garbage in there.

Also comes with less AI slop. 🫠

Imagine having both.

I think some rice cookers popular in Asia do have features to keep it warm, activate at a certain time etc. Perhaps you want cooked rice for breakfast (perhaps already cooled down but still moist and fluffy), or have it prepared so you can make Sushi later while taking a nap. Can definitely see the usecase in a food culture with lots of rice.

If this is a real headline then the author is either incompetent regarding code and the complexity of big projects or very competent in regards to marketing and making ragebait headlines. Either of the two.

Don’t they want to monetize those as well?

“Too politicial” apparently. At least that’s what he said in the 4 minute snippet I managed to endure.

I asked my roommate who that guy is. Showed me a 4 minute clip of rambling. Now I have brain cancer.

Just tried it, working is indeed nicer after some nice fresh tuna and Sushi.

That’s simply not true, if the required dependencies are already downloaded they get used by every Flatpak app. If you have three apps requiring the Gnome 46 libs those only exist once.

I don’t know where this myth about Flatpaks always being gigabytes in size originates from or why it’s so persistent, but it’s wrong.

AppImages can get quite large because each app is self-contained, but the “losing integration” part is nonsense these days for any of these formars. That’s why we have portals, and if those aren’t enough you can still give the app full permissions.

The safest format I can think off would probably be mp4, with h264 for video streams and mp3 for audio streams. Unless you go for ancient technology basically anything should be able to open those files.
