This impotent cynism changes nothing.

Use the technology you feel safe with, or try try to build if it does not exist.

The echo chamber is making everyone deaf.

Hell yes! Feeling futuristic.

Cool recommendation! I just bought one!

I am hoping with all hope that it will let me replace my Roku for streaming.

As great as the functionality of the Roku is, the constant advertising makes me loath this thing. I do not want it anymore.

I cannot count the number of times I installed seemingly well documented software only to have it kill my system. Snaps, the very thing that would prevent that kind of misery, has inexcusable behavior.

Yeah, Flatpaks are great. Although I will say I am pretty agnostic, I don't need my computer to follow some kind of paradigm for anything other than the comfort of organization. In fact just now I installed software through a PPA, because that is the official way for my system at the moment. Not the greatest, I think I could have chosen a different way in a drop down menu, but it detected Ubuntu (Mint), so whatever.

I just remembered I have a lenovo gaming laptop that gets no love because it is huge and I stopped lugging it around when I inherited a MacBook Air.

Time to try it!

I think that is one time download of a library so the app can run. Also, any other app that needs it.

It seems to me that the biggest complaint people have with flatpaks are the space it takes.

I wonder if the blow up in GBs was an early buggy behavior?

I will trial both I guess. See which I like more.

I am leaning towards Fedora just to have Pipewire and Walyand standard.

I am comfortable with any desktop enviroment as long as it is not KDE. I would rather use a mouseless tiling WM than that.

Okay, I was between this and OpenSuse MicroOS. I guess it makes sense to use the distro by the company that makes the technology I want.

I honestly would be happy having every guitar from the Gibson line as an Epiphone.

Okay, that seems cool. I had not considered that a possibility. It would be fun to "stream" any compilations to the Optiplexes.

I think what it means is that your OS layer is totally isolated from your User layer. So, installing software won't directly mess with your system, possibly breaking things.

Everything is isolated, so it is easy to add thing or roll back with practically no obstacles or consequences.

Neat. I was wondering how to do that.
