we prefer users use flatpak, distrobox and even appimage over layering fedora packages with rpm-ostree, but if you really need something at a system-level then use rpm-ostree as a substitute for dnf and reboot when you install the package. can also install COPR repos with this too

Aantheas Open a help thread and tag

Charmi•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

done

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

yeah so I can install things from the terminal with rpm-ostree right?

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

haven't used it before

Ttryhardsoccermomswag yea

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:01 PM

rpm-ostree install <pkg>

Hhotdog yeah so I can install things from the terminal with rpm-ostree right?

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

yes, but use it as a last resort

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

yeah and it's connected to the Fedora repository right?

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

ideally you want to use flatpak or distrobox

Hhotdog yeah and it's connected to the Fedora repository right?

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

yes

Hhotdog yeah and it's connected to the Fedora repository right?

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

yea

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

great

KKyle Gospo yes, but use it as a last resort

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:02 PM

yeah ofc

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:03 PM

One of the best parts about Arch is AUR and SteamOS having no access to it unless you do a very time consuming manual script was kind've a bummer

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

yeah, that's exactly why I made bazzite

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

ey so someone gets my frustrations

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

nais

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

was already a silverblue user, saw steamos, and said
"hey wait a minute, fedora already does this better"

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

so, I did

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

ujust distrobox

ujust distrobox

bazzite-arch

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:04 PM

yeah this too

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:05 PM

oh I forgot about Distrobox, thats also great

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:05 PM

by the way, I see this sentiment a lot, what's wrong with just pulling programs off of the terminal from a trusted repository?

antheas•3/19/24, 5:05 PM

Fedora doesn't have aur and copr is not up there yet but it's quite good

Hhotdog by the way, I see this sentiment a lot, what's wrong with just pulling programs ...

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:05 PM

can break updates with certain packages and COPR repos

antheas•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

Aur is also not trusted

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

why are Flatpaks considered so much better? I mean I honestly prefer downloading things through a GUI too but the Discover store pisses me off beyond belief

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

you can fix that breakage by removing the package

Hhotdog why are Flatpaks considered so much better? I mean I honestly prefer downloading...

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

because shit usually just works

antheas•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

Pretty much, when they both work local install is better

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

if you dont like discover

Hhotdog oh I forgot about Distrobox, thats also great

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

Aantheas Fedora doesn't have aur and copr is not up there yet but it's quite good

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

It's not AUR specifically as much as the fact that big Linux distributions like Arch and Fedora tend to have every app you'd want through a terminal install command, Arch's is just the biggest afaik

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

flatpak can install with CLI

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

so an Arch-based distro not being able to make use of AUR icked me off

Hhotdog It's not AUR specifically as much as the fact that big Linux distributions like ...

antheas•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

You must be confusing the arch repository with aur

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

the Package Search specifically

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

I'm new to Linux so forgive me if I confuse terms

antheas•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

The Arch package repository is a bit more full featured

antheas•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

But fedora is not bad at all

Valve is Watching - Steam Deck’s HUGE Update

Big update for Steam Deck and PC gaming plus a Steamy lawsuit and talk about some really huge milestones for Steam and Steam Deck, the launch of the MSI Claw, not to mention why Valve is not done with the Steam Deck. I also want to talk about my game of the week but that’ll have to wait until the end of the video.

Aantheas But fedora is not bad at all

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:08 PM

Yeah I just think repositories are great, so many times I've tried installing something that ends up being a .tar.gz with no sensible documentation on how to install it

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:08 PM

but I can just sudo apt get it and it'll install fine

Hhotdog Yeah I just think repositories are great, so many times I've tried installing so...

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

.tar.gz

:happy_green_trees: avoid these at all costs imo

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

I got too used to using the terminal because all I've used up until this point was Arch and Arch-based stuff

tryhardsoccermomswagOP•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

for your sanity

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

speaking of which, we ship boxbuddy now

Ttryhardsoccermomswag for your sanity

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

yup, that's why I love repositories

hotdog•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

Don't have to read or do anything
