1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    So, I would say the primary complaint should be a lack of package management.

    Oh perfect, they added this to topgrade.

    https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade/pull/423

    But yes, they hyper trigger my ocd because I cannot manage it all in one place and they just float around as a seperate entity. I just discovered Bauh too which can manage them. The problem there lies that you have to choose one manager now to manage them all and they don't all just detect them like a flatpak manager. They're too manual. The more that these things are separated the more time I'll spend fucking with them and that's the last thing I need. I need them to be all in one place and standardised to stop my bad habits. It's too much extra shit. I get why they're good, it's just not for someone that is not a dev thay actually needs to do other work.

    what

    Is topgrade used to update all the package managers at once? how many stuff are you using that you need that???

    Different users need different things. Not everyone can run a bare bones Arch setup. I'd use it anyway even if I didn't have a lot of updates. It's the centralisation that's important. It even updates Docker containers and windows. I have several devices I can just automate now. It's a set and forget.

    Alright be aware that AM not only can manage appimages, it also manages other portable formats and has access to over a 1000 static binaries from soarpkgs repo.

    And it can do all of this at user level when used as appman, that is elevated rights are never needed to install anything and I can just take my HOME and drop it on any distro and be ready to go.

    It made me get rid of flatpak all together and become an appimage contributor lol
