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)

    flatkill.org

    that website is such a joke, I can't believe the guy's still paying for the domain name... The whole argument boils down to "Many flatpak apps don't make use of the sandbox by default, which is less secure than not having a sandbox at all" and "this one app I like doesn't work in flatpak, therefore all of it is bad".

    ...unless it literally is a joke and I'm just missing out on the sarcasm?

    I've never used it. Its like all the others though and I have been forced to use snaps. Those I slowly replace every time I decide to start fresh.

    Try linux mint, it's basically ubuntu but without snap (you can install snap if you want to, but it's not forced on you)

    I know nothing about how flatpak works other than that it's containerized. But this meme tells me it's the OS's responsibility to create the flatpak, and not the developer's? Is that right?
