You have posted basically the same post one day ago. https://lemmy.ml/post/9994522 This might be classified as spam by now …
Some thoughts:
Todays ThinPads are not superior. Some things are:
flatpak install "$1"
snap install "$1"
appimage-cli-tool install "$1"
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
that saves each audio project as an SQLite database 😳
Is this a problem? I thought this would be a normal use case for SQLite.
You can parse TCP headers, with uhm code.
I think flatpak could perfectly fine for installing cli applications even though it is designed for desktop applications.
Shoving CLIs into flatpaks could be a thing but that wouldn’t really solve a problem, it would just mean adding one more ocean to boil and someone would have to volunteer to package htop for the 30th time.
Flatpak is distribution independent, which means, it could be actually reduce repackaging.
flatpaks and containers use the same kernel tech underneath, cgroups and namespaces, it’s just a specific implementation designed for desktop apps, and it has things like portals and stuff that’s specific for gui apps.
While that is true, I don’t see, why this is a problem for CLI applications to be installed and run via flatpaks.
Direct package management in your home dir - also an option, you can just install homebrew, nix, or tea or whatever install packages in your home directory and then it’s totally decoupled from the system.
Can you explain, why this works better, than flatpaks? I mean it does not matter what flatpaks were intended for originally, if they do the job just fine.
So for example, if you use silverblue, you use htop, but it wouldn’t make sense as a flatpak when there’s a full fedora installation delivered via a container already on your desktop, you’d just dnf install htop and move on.
I found this approach lacking, because:
dnf install foo
in a bashscript. Controlling a container via bash is not that easy (or, I don’t know how it works)I use silverblue myself, but I think “cloud nativ” is a terrible name. “Immutable” is IMO better.
Also installing cli tools via toolbox/distrobox is not ideal. I hope for a better solution. Maybe someday i can install htop via flathub.
This is cool, but if Microsoft would <3 Linux, they would do this themself.
Sorry, but I remember other peoples cringe.
