in order of most to least desirable: ``` flatpak brew distrobox tar appimage layer ```
in order of most to least desirable:
Happimage is just a horrible format in general xd
OInteresting
Amy preferences is flatpak > appimage > distrobox > layer for gui, then brew > binary > distrobox > layer for cli
OAnd how do You install a flatpak? Like after downloading it?
Kdouble click
Kor, download from software/discover if it's on flathub
Rappimage works in a pinch, but flatpak is preferable
Husually you get them from flathub, but in this case just download it and double click
OReally? That easy? Amazing
Hyeah as long as there are no glibc issues, you're not using wayland and there's libfuse2 present
Happimages are somehow tarballs but like
worse at this point lol
worse at this point lol
OIm loving learning and getting into this linux world, i feel so free from windows
Aappimage doesnt like wayland? atleast mine works well tho
Tappimages fundamentally are flawed, i agree, but i think if it runs i'd prefer it over tarballs personally lol
Ti still try to avoid appimage when possible myself
Ragreed
Kjust yesterday we had an app with a broken appimage
Kand totally working tar release
Hprobono explicitly refuses to do anything whenever appimage is borked over wayland
Hhe's
a bit of a character
a bit of a character
Hto say the least
Rdistrobox's rock. running an arch container with some aur packages that run nativelly in my rocks solid fedora system, so good
Keven better, you can install mesa-git from the AUR
Kand run stuff with unstable mesa
Ano offense but arent most linux world like this lol
Kon your stable fedora system
Hoh no he's just much worse
Hlmao
Rcan't install an nivdia driver though :<
KGist
Think twice about Wayland. It breaks everything! GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
Ti really reeeally dont get why use an appimage at all? you can totally jsut run bwrap and mount stuff dynamically just like flatpak does, instead of doing all the weird ass appimage things
Hthis piece of bullshit is his I JUST WANTED TO POST THAT HAHAH
KKman's a menace
Hhe also just goes on some genuinely unhinged rants
Tto give gear lever a purpose here
Hlike he has a personal vendetta against on/off switches for some reason
Hand people using touch uis
Hlike you can go on his mastodon, most of it is just really weird shit
KK
Runfortunately, some really good apps only release as source code or appimage, and haven't been made into packages in repositories for various reasons. So we're stuck using appimages...
Hwhat 
Hi
what???? fuckin clocks bro?
what???? fuckin clocks bro?
HHi think this might actually be the first time a person has ever ranted about led clocks in germany lmao
Ai think should bug some of my appimage dev to create flatpak lol
Ton the real @tulip i think the reason we explicitly kind of support appimage here because bazzite was originally intended for the steam deck, and some applications there use the appimage format, or something like emudeck installs certain emulators as appimage vs flatpak for some reason
Kthis is it
