My bad, I didn't emphasize the Your-way-is-perfectly-fine-part at all and focused more on underlining how it doesn't work for everyone which made it look like I was completely opposed to you.

I wanted to say that both ways, flatpak/snap/appimage and self packaging / user repos are perfectly fine in their ways. The first may be more targeted towards newbies and people who do not want to hassle around with dependencies and the latter is for the more experimental kind of person.

If it works for you and you are happy then there is no reason to change anything. Having the freedom to decide how our OS should be is what drove most of us to Linux in the first place.

In that regard I fully agree with you and especially with "Do what you want, this is just my personal preference."

This may be true from your perspective but won't sway over many newbies / plebs who don't have the knowledge (yet) or who simply do not have or want to take the time for self packaging.

And flatpak, snap and appimage tend to become the standard to get verified, tried and tested software hosted & supported by the official maintainers or the company behind the software.

Now to the personal part:

There was a time when I was motivated enough to get packages from user repos - I actually never was motivated enough to do self packaging so maybe I have missed something world changing - but I got so tired of having to figure out the missing "optional" dependencies that meant the software wasn't working as expected and having to trust 3rd party maintainers when most stuff on flathub was "install & ready" and officially supported or at least hosted by a "verified" source. And maybe distro xyz has a mindblowing solution to all my problems but for the moment I am happy with what I have and not looking for yet another distrohopping and yet another point was whilst distrohopping it was soo easy that I could use the same install.sh containing all my favourite flatpak apps & the "applications" folder containing my favourite appimages no matter if I was on a Debian, RedHat, Arch, ... based distribution.

True that, and Cloud Saves, Multiplayer and all these perks are free too

Good call, you wouldn't need the cooler. Wasn't sure if the CPU comes packaged with one but apparently it does.

Tbh if I wanted to spend a bit more I personally would go for a 4TB HDD too instead of 2TB and maybe a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD alongside the 32GB RAM

I made a build that would have included all of that alongside a Ryzen 7 5800X but that build would have been around 1000$ so quite a stretch from the 800$ mark.

(Tbh it would still fair better than the PS5 Pro if you were to purchase PS+ Essential for more than 3 years - with Extra and Premium it's even worse and since PC games are usually cheaper the free games & discounts don't really seal the deal for me)

Ngl your comment made me look up what I could get for ab. $800

RTX 4060 302.15€

Ryzen 5 4500 67.45€

Decent AM4 mainboard 57.07€

Decent CPU air cooler 21.07€

Thermal paste 3.01€

16 GB DDR4 RAM 35.20€

Semi-Modular 600W PSU 75.07€

500GB M.2 NVMe SSD 34.58€

2TB HDD 35.20€

Case 85.61€

Wifi card 25.10€

PC building tutorial: free on YT or just follow the instructions of your case and mainboard...

Software not included so people can look up what Windows officially charges them for showing them ads

That makes 741.51€ or $817.57 for a pretty damn good custom pc... And it could be way less if you went for 2nd hand parts / better deals

I would rather build it myself than buying a cheap prebuilt one from a no name bc a friend of mine tried that and got scammed and realized way too late sadly

And we all agree who that "one" is

Boop the droop snoot :3

Yeah, I didn't expect much more of this, and then a bunch of those bored Yahoo Tech Bros think Elon would really make a train :')

I just finished my summer internship at the Austrian Federal Railways "ÖBB" and they're ordering a bunch of these Mireos which is why it struck me.

I'd say it's a Siemens Mireo

NO WAY! Did they just copy the Siemens Mireo and made it a double decker

It looks even more obvious in the German version of the site where the first picture is literally this one:

Edit:

Now that I have taken a closer look I question if the "Tesla" train is even a double decker or actually the Mireo

Edit 2:

And I am unsure if Yahoo just used a random train as their cover or if this is the Tesla train in question. I am so confused O.o

Edit 3:

Soo it's not a double decker and it is "Tesla's train" sooo... If I was Tesla I'd get back to the drawing board because I doubt Siemens will be happy with what they did here

Try to defend yourself and leave when your opponent is a fucking yandere that is armed with two rifles one of which you gave to them because in exchange they promised they would never hurt you or take anything from you by force.

Well you are indeed lucky enough the yandere only threatens to shoot you or your friends and for the moment only fights with a long sword whilst all you have is a kitchen knife and a dagger your friends gave you.

Die arme Nudel hat's erwischt :')

But this is c/memes

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands 👏👏

Hehe, that was the plan all along ;)

I feel honored \(^-^)/

One emoji is fine.

Two if you want to underline your reaction.

Three is the maximum allowed by the cringe police.

After three according to the judgement of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale you belong to the Facebook boomer jail. Enjoy the nationalist/racist/sexist/lame minion "memes".

When I see more than three laughing emojis a sitcom laughter is automatically playing in my head. It feels like being forced to laugh at gunpoint.

It's just a bit creepy bc I was talking to a friend about having to renew my German passport - which is a lengthy process since I am living abroad and need to do it via the German embassy which is always booked out for 3 months

Anyways, we were talking about it and later that day he was doom scrolling some reels and found this ad 💀

Xi Trumping isn't real, he can't hurt you

Xi Trumping:

I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?

The slow & buggy UI?

The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?

The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?

How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?

The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?

The 10.000 different ways of updating software?

How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?

The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?

The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?

Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.
