Yeah downvote because you don't know what to reply when a name like Didier Raoult is mentioned, one of the scientists with the higher h-index of the world.

From what I understand it is just a restriction on calling "Rust" something that is not officially Rust, I don't think there is a problem for anyone who manages code written in Rust instead.

Also from what I know Free Software is about code, it doesn't say anything about how to manage trademarks.

Stallman poses a danger to the system not only because of his ideas about Free Software but because he still keeps alive the approach with which we have obtained all our rights: radicalism. The system to try to discredit Stallman even with fake news and to incorporate only what suits its interests under the name of "Open Source" leaving out the rest of the rights-based political movement (Free Software).

Have you taken into account that the final space occupied by a video includes several files transcoded at different resolutions?

People get fooled by the name. "Linux Foundation" is not a non-profit foundation that wants to increase the adoption of Linux. It is only the consortium of large private corporations that already use the Linux kernel and have an interest in continuing to develop it by supporting new hardware and exploiting it in the best possible way.

It will never support FOSS desktop distributions because it is completely out of scope for the consortium.

That's not the point, Flatpak is like DEB or RPM, at a certain point Debian(-based distros) could offer apps as Flatpak while still using DEB for system packages.

Fedora already provides Flatpak apps and Fedora Silverblue is supposed to only install apps with Flatpak from Fedora's Flatpak repos, from FlatHub or whatever repo the user decides to add.

Mozilla and Libreoffice are already providing official Flatpak builds.

OpenSUSE's OBS service supports building Flatpak packages too.

Probably you know you can find a lot of third party apps like Google Chrome that supports Linux by providing DEB and RPM packages on their sites. This has been tje case for ages.

So what's the difference with Flatpak? It's even better for the use case of distributing untrustworthy apps because they can be properly sandboxed. Flatpak + Wayland is the minimum to make third party software available on Linux distros. Instead DEB/RPM + X11 are meant only for internal use of the distro you choose to trust. Before Flatpak and Wayland you can't even talk about Linux distros as a real platforms for third party apps.

Think better about what you want to criticize, because your arguments that follow are never that great.

Why are you mentioning GitHub that is used by FlatHub project while in my comment I just said FlatHub =! Flatpak?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 years ago (4 children)

For FlatHub OK but nothing prevent you from providing a Flatpak repo only with sandboxed apps.
