That is a distinction without a difference.

The distro I use (Pop_os) has a lot of outdated packages in the 'store', & I think that's pretty common for any distro that's not bleeding edge.
The store compensates with flatpaks a lot of the times, but my issue with those is they don't integrate with the system very well. To launch Krita (for a random example), instead of using 'krita' in the command line, I need to use like, '~/.local/var/org.kritafoundation.krita.flatpak' (I am making that up, but it's probably something similar). This becomes a real issue when using scripts or needing software to work system wide.
Appimages are actually my current favorite method for universal install. I rename them, then stuff them in my ~/bin/ directory. My gripe with appimages is there is no auto generated .desktop file.
I like building from source, but sometimes it feels like I install 10 gigs of dependencies to build a 400kb piece of software.
Adding repos was invented by the Devil & is thus appropriately cursed to break systems, so I stay away unless there's really no other options.
I guess what I'm saying is every single method sucks, but still better than Windows lol.
Honestly, an up-to-date store would be the best of all Worlds, which I suppose is Arch's AUR, but, nah. Arch looks like a headache.
Anyways, I'm blabbing. That happens when I start geeking out about Linux.
I appreciate your answer, but please try not to echo the idea that "everyone's a little on the spectrum", it diminishes the struggles of people who are actually on the spectrum & deal with those disabilities every day.
Yes. And I have lost them before, which is why an SD card is a pretty good idea.
But I also do things like take pictures of my tax forms to convert to PDF, as one example. I don't need that uploading to Uncle Goog's Spy Cloud.
I don't actually use a cloud backup. It's me. And maybe the op of this thread, I guess.
I imagine it makes keeping things like photos super easy, even if a phone stops working entirely.
Adaptors & usb-c style headphones SUCK FUCKING ASS.
The usb-c port is unreliable & gets dirty too easily & also they fall out a lot b/c it's so fucking shallow.
Take your adaptor propaganda elsewhere, sir or ma'am!
Sorry, you're not a loser. I meant the Courts & degenerate criminals running those States.
This looks like iPad work but it's gorgeously done. I would love to see what you do with physical mediums like watercolor, but even if you never step off the Pad, keep going, great stuff!
EDIT: I just looked at the other work you've posted. Do you happen to have a pixelfed account? I'd love to follow you there if so.
Florida & Texas over & over again.
Fucking losers screwing over the rest of us.
Hell yeah, done & done!
