The difference is:

• robots.txt is a promise without a door
• Anubis is a physical closed door, that opens up after some time

The quoted image does not say so, they do not say the native packaging from your distribution is borderline unusable. That judgement was added by YOU. The devs just state the package on Archlinux is not officially supported, without making a judgement (at least in the quoted image).

As for the Fedora issue, that is a completely different thing. That is also Flatpak, so its not the package format itself the issue. Fedora did package the application in Flatpak their own way and presented it as the official product. That is a complete different issue! That has nothing to do with Archlinux packaging their own native format. Archlinux never said or presented it as the official package either and it does not look like the official Flatpak version.

So where does the developers say that anything that is not their official Flatpak package is “borderline unusable”?

And then there is software like OBS, which is known for being borderline unusable when not using the only officially supported way to use it on Linux outside of Ubuntu – which is Flatpak.

But why is that? I mean just because it is packaged by someone else does not mean its unusable. So its not the package formats issue, but your distribution packaging it wrong. Right? In installed the Flatpak version, because they developers recommended it to me. I’m not sure why the Archlinux package should be unusable (and I don’t want to mess around with it, because I don’t know what part is unusable).

Those mystical average people would probably stay on Windows, if they don’t care or cannot learn basics of other systems. Its really not hard to explain and understand, even for “average person” that there is an universal source for applications and there are packages designed and managed by your operating system. I think its important for people to learn basics and we should teach them, not dumb them down like on Windows. Soon people won’t be able to eat themselves anymore…

Flatpak have their own set of issues. One thing is, that Flatpak applications do not integrate that easily and perfect like a native package. Either rights are to given, you need to know what rights are needed and how to set it up. Theming can be an issue, because it uses its own libraries in the Flatpak eco system instead your current distributions theme and desktop environment.

But on the other hand, they have actually a permission system and are a little bit sandbox compared to normal applications. Packages often are distributed quickly and are up to date directly from the developers, and usually are not installed with root rights.

I’m pretty much a CLI guy as well and prefer native packages (Arch based, plus the AUR). But I also use Flatpaks for various reasons, alongside with AppImages.

I like get triggered. This reminds me that I’m alive.

I think before this happens, a company would purchase Oracle, because all the tech they have. Oracle has a lot of enterprise and database stuff that I’m not familiar with. The only thing that counts to me is Java. So which companies has the money and knowledge and interest to buy Java rights?

I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, but I can see Google to buy Java. The Android system is based on Java and they need the stability of the rights to not get in conflict with Oracle or any other company again. Also this would give Java some better development I guess.

Beyond raw horsepower, 7-Zip quietly tightens its handling of several legacy formats. Support for ZIP, CcPIO, and FAT archives has been refined, smoothing edge-case extractions that previously required third-party tools.

Over the years there was a few .zip archives that 7z could not handle for whatever reason. For these cases I had to use another application, but don’t know the reason. And my bad to not keeping copies of these files for future testing.

Mhm wait a moment, Final Fantasy 14 is not free, its subscription based.

Its again one of those times when I lost 100% on Steam. I already own the game, so cannot make savings by getting it free, therefore I lost the money that I would have saved. If this keeps happening I am broke very soon.

Just a clarification in case someone sees this comment after the time expired: The game is free to keep if you get it before 10th July. It’s just a typo in this postings title.

RIP for those who was still playing this. I tried the game a few years back on Game Pass (or was it a different service?) where I could try it without paying extra. Played 1 or 2 hours or so. It was an okay experience for a disaster game, but got bored quickly. The controls are actually really good and is the reason why this game can be played at all.

I’d rather fix the problems incase it’s a weird config I have going.

You have the perfect Linux user mindset. I am not saying this as an offense, rather a compliment. :-) I am also someone who investigates and searches the reason and solution of problems.

Recently I had an issue for months, before its stable now (AMD on Linux, but with a specific game Marvel Rivals). The issue was so bad that I got multiple crashes per game session or match even. And either my method or the updates to the game, to the Linux core and drivers fixed it, or a combination of it. What I want to say is, maybe its an issue with the software or as you say, a configuration issue. So trying and finding a workaround might be worth it. Especially if you are happy with Nividia otherwise.

Nintendoesn’t

It’s depressing how dominant Nvidia.

Not only Capcom.

Thank you, I take it.

It’s not GUI, but I want to mention another alternative, as people mention commandline applications here too: kdotool, works under KDE Wayland without with normal user rights (no root). They still work on a few features, but it can do lot of windowing stuff already. A good addition to ydotool.

Can’t wait for a new Brodie-video on this topic. Stay tuned for some comments.

Why even bother with the Switch 2, if we are measuring the fastest display?
