@pingveno i think that two things get conflated. 1. flatpaks and appimages, snaps, have some niche uses for obsolete software and maybe some other edge cases 2. because the two major standards are backed by dumbass corporate entities, they have been promoted as the universal solution to everything that will revolutionize linux 3. the real thing everyone hates, is these stupid companies trying to get rid of a beautiful package management architechture so they can enshittify linux like windows

@kingmongoose7877 until someone tells me another way to run 2 python apps one which requires python 2 and one which requires python 3, on the same system, which is EASIER than installing a flatpak, im gonna maintain that they have a use case, even if they aren't idealized package management as we dreamed of

@squid_slime let me install this flatpak of kde wayland on my oracle unbreakable kernel running under redhat enterprise

@swordgeek @possiblylinux127 this from a guy who still uses swords

@tet its great because you can listen to people whine about it now instead of systemd

@taanegl @DmMacniel omg i was so prepared to hear a anti-lennart-pottering rant about sysv init scripts
thanks for what instead turned out to be a very thoughtful and educational text which i will now send to all these sysv ppl

@n3m37h @Dudewitbow HDMI consortium decides to f around and find out if people really care re: displayport vs hdmi

@muntedcrocodile @0x4E4F should be able to run dosbox on any platform tho [gives you turbo pascal source]

@scratchandgame @Pantherina i only have an issue when they dont upstream any of the functionality they add... buuuutttt... a lot of the progress linux has made in recent years has been upstreamed evil corporation(tm) code so... i dunno... mixed blessing

@LunchEnjoyer all day im like 'why are people running os/2 warp suddenly?'

@Dehydrated the car i drive to work is entirely proprietary!
but yeah, open source is awesome but not using something useful/good because of its license is just kinda shooting yourself in the foot IMO

@Dehydrated this is my pet peeve everytime i try to discuss anything about linux someone interrupts me about how SOME COMPONENT is proprietary
like yeah, the keyboard on the laptop is proprietary, so are all the ICs, come on...
