Then you heard wrong, those are arguably outdated information (how finicky permissions are is rather subjective). And it’s only bloat if you ignore the advantages things like version-pinning offers.
You might confused the speed argument with Snap. Those are noticeably slow.
Now now, don’t have such unreasonable expectations.
It’s not just that your comparison is so far fetched it already disconnected, what you say is also plain wrong. You don’t give up anything in this constellation.
Why did I immediately imagine the sound a stream of piss makes in a toilet.
crucifies you anyway
I keep forgetting you guys in the US don’t have free access even to dental care.
Like, of this meme only the two left panels make sense in most of Europe, and only because the waiting lists for therapy places is rather long.
They don’t really have the option. It’s not like they live in a proper democracy.
That’s only half correct, GenAI has Google as knowledge base. What can possibly go wrong.
“Too politicial” apparently. At least that’s what he said in the 4 minute snippet I managed to endure.
I asked my roommate who that guy is. Showed me a 4 minute clip of rambling. Now I have brain cancer.
Just tried it, working is indeed nicer after some nice fresh tuna and Sushi.
That’s simply not true, if the required dependencies are already downloaded they get used by every Flatpak app. If you have three apps requiring the Gnome 46 libs those only exist once.
I don’t know where this myth about Flatpaks always being gigabytes in size originates from or why it’s so persistent, but it’s wrong.
AppImages can get quite large because each app is self-contained, but the “losing integration” part is nonsense these days for any of these formars. That’s why we have portals, and if those aren’t enough you can still give the app full permissions.
That’s exactly the kind of belittling behaviour I’m criticizing. I’m a sysadmin. I’d just like to see everyone be free from extortion and am fed up with the alienating culture within the Linux- and, partially, hacking community. There’s of course nothing against learning, but a lot against expecting people who just want to be on a boat trip to somewhere to slowly become sailors and blaming them when they’re afraid of messing with core elements of the boat with specialized tools. They’ll rather go to the overly friendly but creepy guy on the other boating service (Windows), as with them they at least know they’ll arrive their actual destination. They very well might even be fully preoccupied with being someone you as a sailor depend on and have neither time nor interest to divest from that.
Then of course there is the accessibility aspect for disabled people (which also includes GUI and not just screenreaders, different people have different needs), but that’s not a can of worms we should open or I may explode in your face.
Your meme isn’t the issue. Your expectations and the way you belittle people is.
It’s both funny and sad you seriously think this is a good argument.
A modern, accessible OS comes with graphical rollback features or even self-repair routines (but usually the first one for Linux in the form of bootable snapshots, or at least the last working kernel at minimum).
If your distro doesn’t have the last working kernel available to boot they fail even the most basic thing of disaster recovery.
I’m more than glad there are, by now, more and more distros (and DE’s) who finally good both the understanding as well as contributors and money to build an OS for everyone, not just sysadmins. Which includes a full GUI toolchain as integral part for basic accessibility. To expect everyone to become essentially a sysadmin when running Linux is the most common kind of harmful ignorance in the Linux community, and it’s good this notion is slowly changing. If you like it or not, understanding abstract CLI commands that often work with OS design concepts (especially in emergency situations like yours) are junior sysadmin level stuff and hardly accessible to a majority of people outside if this bubble we’re currently talking in. And people get immediately scolded for entering commands they don’t understand, so any common user is effectively being left alone in your scenario. Alienating interested people like this is one major reason why we were stuck in a niche for almost 3 decades.
So please, talk to people outside of the Linux bubble (who may focus on other professions and abilities that take all their time, which you may even take for granted as available services) and try to empathize with their needs and point of view.
Shoutout to the lads at Bazzite, Mint, KDE, Flatpak and other projects for doing awesome work.
Them: uninstalling Linux

NVK isn’t yet fully recommendable (otherwise gaming-oriented distros would save themselves all the hassle as well). It mostly works, but the performance often is horrendous. For gaming purposes as well as CUDA you still have to rely on the proprietary driver to get the most performance everywhere, and that thing is as awful to install as ever. It also got some issues on desktop for which distros like Bazzite implement workarounds and sane configurations that are known.
Nvidia is just awful on Linux…
Same for Counter-Strike 1.6, but there it was
