From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My point was that flatpaks don’t have a mechanism for updating, unless the developer builds an updater service into the program, like apps do in Windows.

Freudian slip eh.

That isn’t the amount of space it’s using. This has been explained to you. Stop intentionally misleading people.

Alright, you were right, flatpaks don't use 6GIB for 6 applications, I am very sorry, they use 4 GIB KEK.

~/ ./flatpak-dedup-checker
Directories:                /var/lib/flatpak/{runtime,app}
Size without deduplication: 5.70 GB
Size with deduplication:    4.03 GB (70% of 5.70 GB)

Freudian slip eh.

You clearly don't know what that means. Since Flatpaks do have a mechanism for updating, that statement cannot be a Freudian slip.

A Freudian slip essentially means revealing secret thoughts or feelings through misspeaking, it doesn't just mean parsing a sentence wrong. It's not my secret thought that Flatpaks actually can't update and any updates pushed to them have actually been a collective hallucination of everybody who uses them.

Now are you going to address the actual point that I was making? Of course not.

Alright, you were right, flatpaks don't use 6GIB for 6 applications, I am very sorry, they use 4 GIB KEK.

Again with the lies.

I have 61 flatpaks installed and it totals under 5GiB. HuR dUr FiRefOx fLatPaK usEs 3GiB

Why are you so mad lmao.

Flatpak is just a bloated mess, even with deduplication (Gimp increased the size to ~~4.8 GiB~~ sorry 4.79GIB since I don't want to mislead people):

Again with the lies.

Bro, that is the size of my entire distro with the appimages included (and it also includes the home files), So yeah it is really bad kek.

Also, here what it actually uses with the suggested tool:

THAT'S STILL VERY TERRIBLE and more than what 15 appimages use wtf.

You know what's VERY TERRIBLE? appimages. Really bad kek. wtf. kek kek.

Lol you remind me of the people that get mad when someone talks badly about their favorite video game console.

Mate, you're spreading misinformation about a packaging format and going on all-caps rages about how great the one you use is.

You're projecting so hard that I'm considering calling you IMAX.

[–] Samueru@lemmy.ml -2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Might wanna improve the reading skills there, because I even mentioned here that appimages suck because the runtime doesn't statically link glibc and that would improve their compatibility to 100% if they did (would work on musl distros).

going on all-caps rages

Yeah I can't take blatantl lies like those that say that appimages bloat the system while promoting flatpaks, and I've already shared you enough info showing that is utterly false.

I’m considering calling you IMAX.

You're funny lol.
