There were no flatpaks a decade ago.

downside that made me move from debian:

dist upgrades broke all the time, because I had software installed from PPAs.

My IDE can do that for me. And it was able to do that pre AI boom. Yes, the code ends up more verbose, but I just collapse it.

So from a modern dev UX perspective, this shouldn’t be a major difference.

GrapheneOS sometimes sacrifices privacy for security.

I had way more privacy related features and controls on a rooted LineageOS phone (which was obviously much less secure)

There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

Huh?

I’ve been running radicle for a while to sync my desktop and mobile calenders without any hiccups ever.

Sorry for the link dump - I just glanced over the content and it seems like this might help you:

the window rules one really fucks me up.

It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.

Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.

Income from Steam is what ultimately made gaming on Linux viable. And to do that, they made significant open source contributions.

So I’ll keep giving them money of course.

Thats great!

But I think we need to look at it from the perspective of somebody migrating from GitHub. If OP is used to the GitHub GUI and uses it extensively in their workflow, they will probably be very frustrated while trying to do the same on sr.ht .

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

GPT4All is a nice and easy start.

Bottles is a noun and not an adjective.

Also bottles has no IT related meaning, while immutable does.

“Immutable OS” is not a product name.

An “immutable” OS becomes mutable whenever a user wants to change anything on it.

Now imagine I keep describing my car as undrivable, because it only becomes drivable when somebody gets in and drives it. - You’d think that this is a completely deranged statement.

The main difference to your examples is that an “immutable OS” is in fact mutable, while none of your examples describe themselves with an adjective that is contradicting with their function/inner workings.

Flatpak is a pretty good name, because it makes software flat in the sense that it avoids having a (tall) dependency tree.

I print from my phone just fine

Ah yes, the immutable OS, except for all of the various mutable parts.

We should totally not call it anything less confusing.

How could you install anything or change any setting if it “doesn’t change” ?

How could you install anything or change any setting if it was truly immutable?

Immutable OS makes sense in certain scenarios, but not in home computing.

I second this.

I’ve learned about it at work and used it privately.

I use Dokploy and I think it fills exatly the same role.
