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

Kyle Gospo•3/19/24, 5:09 PM

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

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

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)

@Tohreyta this guide may confuse you more or help you, but here. eventually this documentation will be locally part of bazzite

Universal Blue

Installing and Managing Software on Bazzite

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

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

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:12 PM

oh idk how they compare tbh I like to try new things

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

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:12 PM

that's why I want to learn it

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:12 PM

As I understand it's conventionally like having several VMs

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:12 PM

Not exactly a virtual machine but comparable usecase

RRodoMa92 Don't need it, since I'm not using the official app anyway, I guess I'll just di...

Trigg•3/19/24, 5:14 PM

This is interesting to consider. Are you using an alternative? Is it one with rich presence enabled?

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:16 PM

You can get Vesktop as a Flatpak

hotdogOP•3/19/24, 5:16 PM

this is the Discord discover were talking about right?

Trigg•3/19/24, 5:16 PM

My line of questioning leading to :- ones using arRPC have some of the protocol enabled but not all, and my testing hasn't covered if any of them cause interesting side effects

Trigg•3/19/24, 5:17 PM

simply because I don't use modified clients

This is a thing? Holy crap!!! that is awesome

BB_Wize This is a thing? Holy crap!!! that is awesome

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:27 PM

it's a flatpak, so you can easily install it

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/19/24, 5:28 PM

obviously comes preinstalled with bazzite

59smoke•3/19/24, 5:35 PM

I had no idea this existed. I wanted to use distro box more but kept forgetting how the commands work

pintocat•3/19/24, 5:36 PM

I need to switch to ptyxis, I just felt so accustomed to my old terminal

Trigg•3/19/24, 5:42 PM

I have found it.

Trigg•3/19/24, 5:45 PM

'Alternative' clients allow connections and then instantly turn away the overlay.

Before 0.7.1 that caused 1 (one) file handle to leak because of Gtk being weird about not giving it up after I'd marked it as stale. Once every minute.

Yeah I just think repositories are great, so many times I've tried installing something that ends up
