#Flatpak

34 posts14 participants4 posts today

The more I look into something like #Snap from Canonical, the less I like it. I am old school, but that isn't the reason. I understand the idea behind global type packages like #Flatpak, #AppImages, and even #Snap. I just hate the way Canonical has gone so heavy-handed on it, pirating apt cmds, and closed off the back-end. Just seems to be anti-FOSS. I no others disagree and that is fine. Just my personal take.

Installing the #flatpak Plugin for #Ubuntu following ( flathub.org/setup/Ubuntu ) just nearly gave me a heartattack, after my computer did not get up again at the restart.

An IT- friend helped me to get back inside with strg-alt-F3 , something i had't known alone and not found out in the state of panic i was in.

I am now to afraid to try and install the #Freetube app out of sheer fear, my system might crash again. 😨

I've no idea what happened and if it can again.

My poor heart
