Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Yall gonna lose your shit when you find out how many crumbling dependencies are used to maintain your years-old "native" lackages

    flatpak is about permission:
    https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal

    the fact that gtk, qt, firefox pull in a hundred deps is their own problem.
    not a problem per se..

    ask software to install itself twice and it becomes noticable how enormous the code is.

    those are shared tho, no biggie

    I haven't had any real issues with Flatpaks outside of them not following my GTK theme which I fixed with Flatseal.

    I found a QT app today. Uncompiled file size: 1 MB. Compiled size: 100 MB

    [โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, completely normal for Qt... well, if you bundle everything that is. If it depends on shared libraries, should't be larger than 10MB or so.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Also this app had an entire instance of WebKit compiled in it

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    Yep, that will make it quite large...

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

    I just use appimages, they are even smaller than native packages many times due to their compression, for example libreoffice being 300 vs 600 MiB, librewolf 110 vs 330 MiB, etc.

    4Gb of dependencies so far
