• Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers

  Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Flutter 3 on Devuan 4: Getting started

  Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• I'm going to leave Windows to move permanently to Linux Fedora (I've been using Windows + Ubuntu for several years now), can you help me with some questions about Fedora?

  In general yes, especially considering that the Snaps found on Ubuntu are distro-agnostic. However, I wouldn't recommend you to go that route because Snaps aren't properly confined in non-Ubuntu distros. Instead, I'd recommend you to install it through either Flatpak, Nix or Distrobox; an Ubuntu distrobox can be setup to function as your access-point to all the packages that are found on the Ubuntu repositories.

  So I uninstalled and reinstalled via flatpak.org, and that didn't change anything.

  There are different ways to install applications in Linux. Flatpak is one if them. One if the advantages is that every flatpak application comes with their own libarys. https://flatpak.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• App distribution Model

  For example, when I installed Microsoft Edge as a deb to Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, the distro added the "Stable (main) microsoft-edge" repo, and when I added the Zoom Flatpak, the distro added "flatpak.org". Because Discover looks to those repos as well as the Kubuntu 22.04 repos, the Microsoft Edge and the Zoom Flatpak update automatically as updates are available. Source: about 1 year ago

  There are a few reasons why the distro is notable. One, it's made by a very active devs who had also developed Bottles, a free and pretty wrapper for Wine emulation layer used to run Windows games and software. Second, vanillaOS started out with a simple "put immutable attribute to all files and folders in root" which is based on a simple sudo chattr -i command that can be used on any file, making it only almost...

• Running Minecraft on Asahi with more than 20 FPS

  I own a M1 Max Mac Studio with 32GB of RAM which is able to run Minecraft with about 70-100 FPS on MacOS. I am now trying out Asahi Linux and was wondering whether it could run Minecraft since Minecraft Java Edition is, as the name suggests, written in Java, therefore not needing a native port as long as a JVM is available. I managed to install the open-source [Prism Launcher](https://prismlauncher.org/) from... Source: over 1 year ago

• Sharing Signal data among Linux Distros (MX Linux & Arch Linux)

  Flatpaks store all relevant application and data files in ~/.var/app/, whereas you likely installed Signal on Arch via the AUR which builds and installs the local binary in a very similar fashion to the official .deb which stores data in ~/.config/Signal. Source: over 1 year ago
