I remember using PortableApps mostly during high school and college, when I'd load them onto a flash drive and plug them into a random computer in the computer lab to be able to run, say, Firefox instead of the workstation's locked down browser.
With that use-case in mind, how many "Linux" workstations in a school/university/library am I likely to run into whereby I'll need to run portable software?
Ye olde Unix/BSD mainframes don't count.
- charcircuit 5y agoWell at university I primarily was using Linux. Since I wanted to use Emacs I ended up downloading the source code and compiling and installing it into my networked home folder. It would have been convenient if I could have just downloaded emacs. I was also told later that doing that caused the networked file server to crash.
