We should move on as FLOSS community after this attack on our values. IBM has always been on the wrong side of history. I think these vloggers said it all:
I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I've seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what's the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?
I use Flatpak and AppImages mostly. I am using Debian, but sometimes an app is just to old for me, and than I use a flatpak. For testing and temp. use I use AppImages. If more people around me would use Linux I could use AppImages as mobile apps to carry around.
My advise, for switches, is to use the latest version available on your vendors website. If it is not available, just use the stock version on the device itself.
In your specific case of HP2524, HP states that: We are sorry this product has no Drivers and Software.
This summer I use Linux on my desktop for 25 years. What do you think the first years looked like? My first laptop took me 3 weeks to get it properly installed with Suse back in 1998. For the last 10 years installing and configuring whatever distro is a piece of cake. Ofcourse soms things are not as you want them to be: the good thing is you can change everything in FOSS, and if it does not excist you can create it. People complaining at Linux Desktop are realy complaining on their own limitations. Don’t complain! Not about yourself. Not about the Linux Desktop. Never ever give up! Make your list of whats not working for you. And than work and change until your list is history. Keep your head up strong. You’ll never walk alone!
Rocky wants to continue getting RHEL sources via public cloud instances and/or via UBI container images (www.phoronix.com)
While I disagree with Red Hat's decision to hinder source access, this move from Rocky (a commercial company!) seems even more disingenuous, imho.
What's your opinion on Snap/Flatpak, and why?
