Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

    If you really hate flatpak just make an arch distrobox and download off the AUR. Or install Nix or something

    I do sort of wish Nix was a more popular distro agnostic solution

    That's what I've done with my deck. Some things just aren't available through discover, and the Firefox build on there has behavior that I don't like or know how to correct. Distrobox gives me access to the Arch repos + AUR with persistence that you can't get on SteamOS without it.

    SteamOS is an arch derivative, so you could also just install arch, add the SteamOS repos, and set the steam UI in gamescope to launch on login

    Or just use Arch... only for half of your AUR packages to be broken and end up still using flatpaks anyways.

    Install Gentoo and put the package on GURU, it's really easy (and .ebuild > PKGBUILD)
