  • They use GitHub for the code already. Their hosting cost could be pretty much zero if they would use GitHub Pages for their website, and redirect their domain to that.

  • How much development is actually needed to build a graphical interface for setting the WINEPREFIX environment variable?

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

  • The quoted image does not say so

    It does exactly say so. Flatpak is the only supported and official method of installation when you’re not using Ubuntu.

    As for the Fedora issue, that is a completely different thing. That is also Flatpak, so its not the package format itself the issue.

    Exactly. And the Flatpak version from Fedora was unusable.

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

    They don’t. It’s just unsupported.

  • But why is that?

    Because the OBS developers say so.

    And since I’m not on Ubuntu, I use the Flatpak version to get OBS as intended bey the OBS developers.

    So its not the package formats issue, but your distribution packaging it wrong. Right?

    Exactly. Most distributions fail hard when it comes to packaging OBS correctly. The OBS devs even threatened to sue Fedora over this.

  • Flatpaks are great for situations where installing software is unnecessary complex or complicated.

    I have Steam installed for some games, and since this is a 32 bits application it would install a metric shit-don of 32 bit dependencies I do not use for anything else except Steam, so I use the Flatpak version.

    Or Kdenlive for video editing. Kdenlive is the only KDE software I use but when installing it, it feels like due to dependencies I also get pretty much all of the KDE desktop’s applications I do not need nor use nor want on my machine. So Flatpak it is.

    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.

  • Nvidia 580 series of drivers will be the last to support GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures.

    Jump

  • Exactly. This is what I mean with “with no real reason”. It is a completely made-up reason just because I don’t make them any money.

  • And with no real reason. The 1080 Ti in my machine runs better than a 4060 I tested some time ago (the only thing changed was the graphics card).

  • New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.

    To me, this is the worst issue here.

    Even large Projects suggest things that are basically curl | sh – without even mentioning anything about how this could be problematic.

    New user are “trained” doing this.

    Every project suggesting it should be not only opposed but actively fought against until they change this bullshit.
