Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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!

Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

I just distribute it as a self-contained executable/archive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Valid solution, but I miss unified updates with appimages and such

As long as your application is statically linked, I don't see any issue with that.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

So, like, dumb question. People here assumed that I mean AppImages, whereas I actually meant just a statically linked binary. Is that really the only reason why AppImage exists? So, that dynamically linked applications can be distributed like statically linked ones?

You cannot statically link everything. Take graphics libraries and APIs for example, do you statically link against nvidia's or mesa's opengl?

The majority of AppImages I've seen have been dynamically linked, yes. But it's also used for packaging assets.

Nix: you package it yourself and do a pull request

Sadly, many flatpaks don't even work on NixOS properly because of assumptions about the file structure or similar

I don't wanna be that guy, but someone has to say it: Nix Flakes
