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

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

you can fix that breakage by removing the package

tryhardsoccermomswag•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

tryhardsoccermomswag•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

hotdogOP•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

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:06 PM

flatpak can install with CLI

hotdogOP•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

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:07 PM

the Package Search specifically

hotdogOP•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

hotdogOP•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

hotdogOP•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...

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

.tar.gz

:happy_green_trees: avoid these at all costs imo

hotdogOP•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

tryhardsoccermomswag•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

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

yup, that's why I love repositories

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

Don't have to read or do anything

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

boxbuddy my beloved

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

which gives you GUI management of distrobox & exported apps

antheas•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

Yeah arch is great for thst

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

also, we use Ptyxis as our terminal, which is similar to GNOME terminal

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

I've not used Distrobox before but I should learn it

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

but comes with distrobox integration

Hhotdog I've not used Distrobox before but I should learn it

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

yes

antheas•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

When I got into it I also confused Aur with the package repository

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

you'll have access to most linux software with this

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

I noticed, I was looking for the Konsole for six minutes before I realized you guys used ptyxis

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:10 PM

the flatpak is ancient so I install in distrobox

Hhotdog I noticed, I was looking for the Konsole for six minutes before I realized you g...

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

you can switch back if you prefer, there's a ujust command

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

but do try ptyxis, it's real good

KKyle Gospo yea always has been

Valerie•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

I use it for my web dev class, would've been good to know sooner lmfao

VValerie I use it for my web dev class, would've been good to know sooner lmfao

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

even opengl acceleration works

Ttryhardsoccermomswag you'll have access to most linux software with this

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

hopefully without nuking the system (I signed the HoloArch keys into SteamOS, downloaded GnomeParted off of AUR and killed the system)

Package Formats 1. Flatpak [Flatpak] Flatpak is the primary method of installing applications on Bazzite. It is a universal containerized package format that tries to sandbox applications through flexible permissions that the application has access to on your system. Typically it is recommended to use Flatpak for most software when possible. ...

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

it's a container

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:11 PM

it won't touch your host outside of files being in your home directory

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:12 PM

it can also be blown away and remade at any time

why are Flatpaks considered so much better? I mean I honestly prefer downloading things through a GU
