Shradiko – a tool for making portable AppImages from distro packages

- themodelplumber 4y agoThese are pretty fascinating... > Since Shradiko uses overlay filesystems, the packaged program should not expect changes to files in system directories to be permanent. For example, editing files in /etc with a packaged text editor will not actually change those files permanently. Changes to files in user home directories will still be permanent. > The program will think it is running as root. Some programs refuse to run as root or require special options for that to work. For example Chromium requires the --no-sandbox flag to run as root. This does not, however, give actual root permissions. One of the use cases that comes to mind is being a Manjaro user and deciding between something like this and AUR. I'm new to the distro, and so far not loving that AUR feels kind of like "an option, it's there, use it" but also likely to be the source of so many problems. Debs meanwhile are everywhere. (It'd be funny to use this to get pal running on my Manjaro machine, assuming pal is still in Ubuntu repos.) Just what comes to mind though.
