  • Being able to do everything a “normie” would do without the need to use a terminal.

    And a way for companies to get flatpak as an alternative, i remember a friend of mine who tried to use 'buntu budgie for a while and he needed a software for cartographic stuff.

    We got lucky the company of said software (and yes, it needed to be THAT specific software to avoid compat’ issues, so no free alternatives were viable even if they were available) used to provide a .deb package, we got forced to change a lot of sys native binaries to make it work and ended up just breaking a lot of other stuff to do so. Flatpaks (fuck snaps) need to be the default option to be available across systems without caring about distros, so anyone can run it on “mandragora linux” if they want to



  • and even on linux-hardware you have strange results like OpenMandriva and ROSA as Distros on top 15, and I have never heard of them outside there

Especially when said company not only hasn’t generated any profit, tell me, why its ok for teslo to have subsidies but no for chinese EV manufactures? And why go as far to directly ban them?

    And don’t come to tell me that bs about security, it that was the concern they wouldn’t even let apple produce their phones over there.

    Don’t let the suits fool u.
