What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.

Fedora? 🙂

Cloudflare tunnel for anything web based

It probably requires a domain name if you want it to be publicly available. SMTP is not required. I’d recommend vaultwarden.

Windows is just constantly trying to distract you from work. It’s slow, hogs resources, kills my battery.

After tinkering a lot I have found a workflow that works great for me on Linux and I couldn’t have found that with windows.

To be honest though. To switch to Linux I’d say you’d have a reason. If you don’t work a techy job and don’t plan on doing so and don’t have much interest in it, you’d just have an easier time with windows.

But let me tell you once you go into Linux with an open mind and willingness to learn, you’ll love it.

The problem occurred on Brave browser using standard KDE.

Anyway this explains it nicely. I guess flatpak itself is ok but a lot of things are in the hands of package maintainers and if they don’t set things up correctly then there will be issues. Makes sense

That’s the thing. The default theme didn’t work. The cursor was like an old looking cursor. Not the default

I don’t know. It’s only an idea.

True. I would if I knew C. Maybe it will be a reason for me to learn it.

Yeah I understand the reason why it is the way it is. I think it should be simplified. Just a pop-up box asking the user if it’s ok if flatpak gains Access to path x. That’s what I have in my mind. Maybe with time it will improve.

Why is the command necessary and why did I have to Google it. It feels like it should be default behavior.

Appimages are nice. I just would like there to be some hub for them which also enables the appimages to be updated through it. I know about zap for example but it’s not up to par with flathub or the snap store.

It has nothing to do with my hardware. Like I said fixing the theme was done with a simple command that basically mapped my user .icons folder to the flatpak one. My point is just that why isn’t this done automatically. Why isn’t there a system in place that will deal with this.

We should at least aim for it…

I think it would be good if they expanded the permissions system. Taking inspiration from the android world where it will ask for the permission whenever it needs to access something on the system. This is an ideal world but would take a lot of effort for the maintainers to implement. I guess it needs time to mature. I just hope flatpak devs want to adress the issue eventually… So far I only ever see people just accepting the way it is now and finding workarounds…

Europa Universalis IV

You run it from a toolbox which is essentially a sandboxed container running fedora where you can use regular dnf
