Title: Gnome 42.4 flathub, snapcraft - or both ?
Post by: nonzero on August 31, 2022, 06:25:52 PM

So that's great, gnome uses flathub, ubuntu snapstore, debian has apt by default, sparky recently changed to nala, lite also have their own software section. Oh yeah, don't forget appimage or plingstore for a full-blown experience. Is this just me feeling overwhelmed browsing across the same apps again and again, and still failing to build it from source then needed ( say damn firefox using moz, or rust crates ). How about slow and dodgy guix? Lovin it.
Maybe I am not hacking into linux enough, n00b - let's try again - sudo apt install mono-devel :D

Gnome is busy, bloated, and changes too much and too fast. Those are the same reasons I stick with apt and only rarely if ever deal with Flatpaks. No snaps ever. I value stability and reliability much more than "diversity" and "bling."

Same here! :)
apt, is enough. I use it with Synaptic or GDebi (if this is the case) so, it's easy.

Best regards! :)
