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?

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.

Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.

This made me vomit a little in my mouth.

I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.

“No honey, the shirt isn’t the problem here.”

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).

Updated, thanks.

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.

Brother, do you have BEÄNS?

In my 20+ years of using laptops I never ever had issues with laptop batteries that resulted in me wanting to (or having to) change them. It was always other parts that failed first.

Why would people in the right mind bind the right to vote to a document that allows you to operate a vehicle on public roads anyways?

depending on how you look

… and even more where you cross the border. If I want to go (like in “just walk there”) from Poland to Germany, I could use this bridge for example:

It’s really just an ordinary bridge across a river, no border patrol, no ID check, nothing. Just walk from one country into another.

Or if I want to cross the border from Germany to France, I could just use that publicly accessible hiking path:

(Seen from French side, the barrier where the people sit is the whole border crossing point.) And this bridge with a view brings you from France to Spain.

Except border check points you’ll find luxury housing on French side and commercial buildings (stores and some warehouses) on Spain side.

At no point in that imaginary journey (now that I think about it, this would make a great road trip with hiking parts) you need your ID card when you travel to another country.

Long story short: It’s really easy to cross borders in the EU.

I live in the EU and thus I can travel pretty far away without having to ever show my ID card. Maybe it’s just personal experience but whenever I had to show it, no-one cared about it wasn’t valid anymore.

Another trick is acting stupid: “Oh, thank you! I didn’t notice! When would a normal person check that, eh? 🙂 … Right on next Monday I’ll going to renew it!” and then hasta la vista, we won’t meet ever again anyways.

The next time I have to renew it, is in 2031. I guess I won’t renew it till 2040.
