Was unable to build the latest, greatest release of #Foliate from source, late last night, on my #Debian stable box(outdated gjs).

So, I made the leap to install & re-visit #Flatpak (wasn't ready to flip the system over to testing @2 AM...😄 )

See how I like it this week & perhaps ditch Calibre/Evince & possibly move my #KeePassXC app-image over to Flatpak

#WorkAvoidance

@kevinbowen @2 with really old distributions, one can still install the latest, and greatest, version of #KeePassXC using the #NixPackageManager, even when required dependencies or versions are unavailable in the base OS. #Nix can do this because it brings it's own dependency tree. Nix can do a bunch of interesting things that most other Peake managers can't.

One quirk is that the browser extension, may not be able to connect unless the browser was also installed with #Nix.

@mcrocker

I appreciate the info. Thank you. But, honestly, I don't have the cycles to start looking at #Nix

I've been running #KeePassXC without issue for ~4+ years as an app-image w/broswer integration.

IF #Foliate runs well enough(& I like it) on flatpak AND the migration of KeePassXC works as I'm used to THEN I'll drop the app-image & ride with flatpak for awhile.

(This is me totally ignoring my pyenv/pipx, rbenv, cargo, & node package mgmt installs...🤣 oh & Vim Plugins...)
