#Flatpacks are great until export time.

I'm just going to have to get good and start installing #betterbird from tar

Fortunately the 'birds personal information programs have super robust copypaste features for events, so completely redoing two events calendars was kind of NBD (One was only one kind of event, so paste over dates... Nearly non-task, were that a thing.)

It's just that unBettered #mozilla software takes a nitcomb to de-spysetting...

A little while ago, I rescued an old #laptop from becoming #ewaste. The keyboard is a little wonky, but it is more for consuming than typing so that is ok. I am running #Ubuntu #MATE #2404, and it is solid and fast enough. #Snaps are nice because I can split tunnel them with #PIA #VPN and cannot with #Flatpacks but, if you know how, please let me know. Two apps I have been enjoying of late on this machine are #Kasts for #podcasts and #FreeTube for ad free YouTube.

It's ALIVE! 😮‍💨

Had to fight a lot, to get #raylib working!
I had installed #VSCodium as a #flatpack (I'm on #CachyOs (ARC)) so #flatpack is kind of the default way of installing everything. But I forgot that #flatpacks are limited in their access to the rest of the system. So uninstalled #VSCodium #flatpack, and re-installed it using
"paru -S vscodium-bin"
and suddenly, everything just worked. 🥳

I'm sure I'll be able to used what I learned about #raylib from my previous coding endeavors. 😃

Thanks for all the helpful input from people on shifting over to #linux from #windows.
1. If you handle a lot of files and want to be in the same folder that you opened last time, avoid #flatpacks like the plague. They aren't bad for other programs but if you are sorting and importing or saving a lot of files flatpacks are nothing but a headache.
2. If you want the effect of windows file explorer's #image #preview side panel that's not the size of a postage stamp, running the split screen, Thunar file explorer and gthumb image viewer sync very well with each other and if you select a file in Thunar, gThumb with automatically pull up the file without prompting. Thunar also has tree layout which is something many file explorers are lacking.

Switched from #Ubuntu to #Debian today with nary a whimper.

Zero UX changes, just need to re-install a few apps. Overall, very pleased.

Zero #snaps, zero #flatpacks, zero #containers

What's the status of #flatpacks on #Fedora37 ?
Listening to Linux unplugged and it doesn't look good. At work at the moment, will have to check later.

@devnull @aeris En ce moment t'as des #snaps et des #flatpacks avec jeu + wine, le tout préconfiguré et conteneurisé pour pas accéder à tes données qui sont entrain de pointer le bout de leur nez... J'en ai testé un, ça marchait pas mal du tout.
