Awesome. Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks!
It’s the year of the Linux desktop! /s
But seriously, I think I’m going to buy a SteamDeck.
Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?
Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn’t a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.
But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.
A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a “portable app” either doesn’t use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.
If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there’s a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There’s lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.
For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.
.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point…
Source: I’ve built installer packages for various operating systems.
That’s the most evil thing I’ve heard in awhile, and I would absolutely make use of it anyway.
One silver lining is that those of us who deal with brain fog and memory challenges make the best documentation updaters.
It amuses me when folks say “thanks” for my documentation updates.
Yeah, sure, I distilled that guide down to one incredibly clear, hard to mess up guide, for you, my coworkers. I’m all heart! /s
Yep. And there were already 419 other pilots named Mary Jane.
You beat me to it. Everyone knows you get Vin Diesel if you accidentally bleach The Rock. The wax museum artists should have known better.
I’m excited to give it a try.
Nice. Your excellent suggestion probably belongs in a meta-package somewhere so that users get it for free when appropriate.

Yeah.
I’m a big part of the super hero movie problem - I even (eventually) watched and enjoyed “Fant4stic”.
But I can do without super hero movies if that’s what it takes to make sure the money I’m paying is reaching the people doing the work.
I try not to think about a world without Tress MacNeille.
What a twist!
“Deeper economic issues” is one of nicer things he’s been called since he started openly warmongering.
“They’re laughing at us.”
Narrator: They were.
We care. We don’t have the same resources as some of these assholes, but we care.

Every time I see one of those articles, I wonder about Putin’s sex life. Dude must not be getting any to cause this much trouble for others while also being such a whiner.
Good summary.
I’m just bitter that Barbie and Hot wheels fans didn’t have their favorite toy pulled from the shelves between the late 80s and early 90s.
And Action Masters weren’t really Transformers, and everyone knew it.
Indeed. It is, I daresay, fucking perfect.
