I don't see myself using Flatpaks over Packman; OT1H the release model makes sense to me, as someone who likes the latest-and-greatest straight from upstream, OTOH - latest-and-greatest is why I use a rolling release, Flatpak brings nothing new there; - having to pick-and-choose apps which need codec-smuggling is a bother; - containerized apps break in subtle ways precisely because of the security benefits containers bring: too many holes to punch in order to integrate smoothly with the rest of the desktop. So just nod and move on. --- guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30/killing-time.org | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30') diff --git a/guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30/killing-time.org b/guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30/killing-time.org index 8a7e190..bc40e09 100644 --- a/guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30/killing-time.org +++ b/guides/sysadmin/machines/amdahl30/killing-time.org @@ -398,11 +398,6 @@ sudo zypper dist-upgrade --allow-vendor-change --remove-orphaned Then confirmed absence of strays with ~zypper packages~ (with ~--orphaned~, then with ~| tr -s ' ' | cut -d'|' -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -hr~ to double-check repositories in-use). - -[fn:unpurge-packman] And mpv can no longer =initialize a decoder for -codec 'hevc'=, so I suppose I will switch back.
