Perhaps it is time that I do some more distro-hopping. Although I thoroughly enjoy using Linux Mint, this is the second time in the past week that I've wanted a more recent release of some of the software I use than what is in Mint's repositories. First, it was the latest version of LibreOffice. I was able to switch to the Flatpack version without issue. Now, I find myself wanting to use the latest release of wine to run some windows-only software that I use for my job.

@miekg Oh... I feel you are an expert there :)

My path have started from gentoo with emerge with later various distro hops, like OpenSuse Ubuntu Mint Debian, etc.

But deep dive Gentoo I liked the most, since it had the least issues with packages. The reason I've never came back there, is a compilation time.
I remember how I built KDE for more than 20 hours (Celeron 2.4 in early 2000s).

After many years in MacOS (right now it's also a primary OS, Arch is only on a big PC), it's really confusing that many things are not available without hacks.
In MacOS Homebrew made it so simple, it's hard to accept that Linux may have so many complications with a package distributions.

It looks like snap or flatpack should fix this issue, but they don't. Many things from snap don't work or do not available, flatpack the same.

Installing Homebrew in Linux does not feel right.

It also has #LibreWolf from #Flatpack, even when even Debian has a semi official way to install it; see below.

I also wonder if the user needs to know the source of the package. Would it be important to know later?

@brie Jednym z założeń #flatpack była niezależność od bibliotek systemowych, co jes jego plusem i minusem jednocześnie

@emill1984 Dziełem szatana, czy właściwie Canonical(niedaleko jeden od drugiego...), są snap-y, a #flatpack nie jest wcale zły :-D
Za to nigdy jakoś nie skusiłem się na #appimage

Dlaczego w swiecie #Linux.a #Flatpack.i sa tak pogardzane? Juz ktorys raz spotykam sie z opinia, ze sa dzielem szatana xD
A dla mnie sa spoko, sa bardziej naturalna wersja programu do zainstalowania na systemie jak te nieszczesne #AppImage - to jest dopiero dzielo szatana 😈

Got #GeforceNow via #Flatpack running on @CachyOS using https://gist.github.com/Edu4rdSHL/7a477bad90379e638d544252583d37f5.

Then I can launch the app on the dedicated GPU using __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia flatpak run com.nvidia.geforcenow

My issue is that the XBOX 360 (bluetooth) buttons' mapping seems to be correct on https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad but it's completely messed up in the games.

I tried to deactivate the Steam Input option but it doesn't help.

What a wonderful time it is to be a Linux user now. Games run almost natively (I played Stardew yesterday, and even my mods worked), and the app store looks neat and stylish, and it's not useless, unlike the Windows store. A golden age is beginning.

I remember when I was a kid, I installed Ubuntu as a second OS. It was version 12, I think. And I remember the app store back then was incredibly useless, with really bad apps, like something out of 2005. I think it was called Snap, right?

@kerravonsen you can still download the python2.7 packages and install with `dpkg -i`.

https://snapshot.debian.org/package/python-defaults/2.7.18-3/#python2_2.7.18-3

I used to have it around with al the old versions of py3 for a project I used to develop.

But that might not solve the issue that probably GNU-IMP won't be able to use both py2 and py3 plugins at the same time. I don't think there is a simple solution for that, sorry :(

#flatpack does not have the instructions to build them semi-automatically?
