AppImage is absolute chaos. Like, there’s an entire application floating on my desktop and it doesn’t have an icon, doesn’t appear in my list of apps, doesn’t update and has its own copy of libraries that are on my system, but aren’t managed or updated.
It’s even better when I can’t find a program that I thought I had installed. I go on the internet, find the site, and realise it’s appimage. I download the file just to find I already had it, and it was in my downloads directory.
Just package your program properly FFS.
I still have to use MBR instead of GPT because there are people still running Windows versions that can’t read it.
It’s weird that I had a tower desktop as a kid when it was niche, and I still have a tower desktop 35 years later when it’s niche again.
You can permit absolutely everything and make it just as bad as the stock OS if you want to.
I disabled ssh on IPv4 and that reduced hacking attempts by 99%.
It’s on IPv6 port 22 with a DNS pointing to it. I can log into it remotely by hostname. Easy.
It definitely happens if you upgrade to the next version of your distro while it’s still in beta.
You hit a bunch of bugs, and they actually do get fixed around final release time.
Once you’re on a stable branch, updates rarely include major changes.
Now that we have reverse cycle AC (heat pumps), 100% is a low bar.
If I can’t script it because someone insists on GUI, it’s a failure.
