Flatpaks splat the files on disk just like your traditional package manager, you shouldn't be seeing any performance difference.

People in this thread (and the author of the article) are under the assumption that Mozilla is running this PPA, it's run by the community. That being said ricotz has been participating in the Ubuntu community for a very long time, and

I get people don't like snaps but adding a third-party repository with root access to your computer is not doing anyone any favors. Even if it is run by a trusted community member a PPA will never have the guarantees of the packages in

IDEs usually expect/require access to all sorts of things on the host, things like vscode can be used to use remote container support on the host, etc. but it's still an area that needs improvement. Personally I just layer my IDEs

Distrobox is handy for this: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox It just lets you reuse any docker image on your desktop (both podman and docker), and has some nice features like the ability to create a launcher shor

The prescience of doing SteamOS/Steam Machines/Steam Controllers years before EGS seems to have paid off for them. (Eventually, and probably by accident, time will tell but the device seems to be pretty badass so far).

Not yet, however people have been PRing in Ubuntu images, I just snagged them even though they're not merged. I link to some build scripts people use in my repo, but yeah it would be nice if there were more distros in toolbox so that p

I want the advantages of using an image based OS, if you go look in the Ubuntu 21.10 thread here on HN from that day there's a bunch of complaints about PPAs breaking updates, etc. and Silverblue fixes all this. EDIT: I did a stream la

Fedora Silverblue in particular has changed my workflow, but I came from Ubuntu and I felt like I was lost in an entirely new world so some friends of mine helped me cobble together a set of scripts. So if you come from Ubuntu and want to g

I would argue in OSS it doesn't work well, just because volunteers are going through and triaging most of the worthless reports (if you're lucky!) out it's still boiling the ocean, it's hard to put "this sucks and f
