ive been using linux for about 4 years now and I still have no idea where the things are kept. Im getting the feel for it slowly like everything flatpak is in a hidden folder .var my solution is to just make a simlink to folders I want to vist and put them in my home folder.

oh the times ive seen people at my work try an sell soemthing to an angry customer. It always fails and results in the customer being pissed off and insulted. It should be obvious that if someone is paying you to solve a problem and your software is not working and causing them to complain they are not in the mood to buy another thing to solve the problem they are already paying you to solve.

Recall?

Windows is so annoying like why does it always display word, excel etc when I don’t own it. These are paid programs that I do not own they should not be coming up in search results when I’m looking for a word processor.

There are some devs that I trust to package sure. But when im downloading apps from the discover store I dont really know or care who packaged it. I just want to download the app with some peace of mind. Not all the apps on flathub are packaged by the devs.

In the flathub repo, we trust that flathub checked these packages. In the fedora flatpak repo we trust that fedora checked these packages.

Personally I do trust the fedora team to provide me secure packages more than I trust the flathub repo. You dont have to and thats fine. One of the reasons I like the fedora repo is that the check the libs used by packages and try to get them updated when they have security vulnerabilities.

Became reddit has a user base that is 10000x bigger.

They can’t be perfect. Its a case of do you trust fedora or flatpak for your packaging needs. Personally i trust fedora and flatpak but use fedora.

Everyday I see people saying they are having issue with Linux and its always because they went straight to arch and used archinstall. They have no idea how any of their system works and when they run into an issue thry do a full system reinstall.

Honestly you should be getting similar performance and package quality on all modern up to date distros. Pick whatever looks good to you.

Yeah lemmy support would be so nice.

Do you want this social media to be for your family to use only with family members or for them to use with family and beyond?

Revolt could be good as a local family group chat if you like the discord style. You’ve probably already tried it but Pixelfed/mastodon/misskey sound like the easiest to get family on board with and seem like they would be good family social media platforms IMO.

I liked this style of ad. Just sitting down and explaining all the interesting features and engineering improvements.

All this over some discord server drama. I cant blame the dev for wanting to code and not waste his time moderating.
