Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

But why is that?
Because the OBS developers say so.
And since I’m not on Ubuntu, I use the Flatpak version to get OBS as intended bey the OBS developers.
So its not the package formats issue, but your distribution packaging it wrong. Right?
Exactly. Most distributions fail hard when it comes to packaging OBS correctly. The OBS devs even threatened to sue Fedora over this.

Flatpaks are great for situations where installing software is unnecessary complex or complicated.
I have Steam installed for some games, and since this is a 32 bits application it would install a metric shit-don of 32 bit dependencies I do not use for anything else except Steam, so I use the Flatpak version.
Or Kdenlive for video editing. Kdenlive is the only KDE software I use but when installing it, it feels like due to dependencies I also get pretty much all of the KDE desktop’s applications I do not need nor use nor want on my machine. So Flatpak it is.
And then there is software like OBS, which is known for being borderline unusable when not using the only officially supported way to use it on Linux outside of Ubuntu – which is Flatpak.
Files on your own hardware are equally good as physical media.
This made me vomit a little in my mouth.
I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.
Superreiche müssen doch keine Steuern zahlen.
“No honey, the shirt isn’t the problem here.”
Exactly. This is what I mean with “with no real reason”. It is a completely made-up reason just because I don’t make them any money.
And with no real reason. The 1080 Ti in my machine runs better than a 4060 I tested some time ago (the only thing changed was the graphics card).
Copy&Pasted from somewhere.
Liebe Schönauer, dann heult aber auch nicht mehr über teuren Strom.
New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.
To me, this is the worst issue here.
Even large Projects suggest things that are basically curl | sh – without even mentioning anything about how this could be problematic.
New user are “trained” doing this.
Every project suggesting it should be not only opposed but actively fought against until they change this bullshit.
Das wird ihm eine Lehre sein! Beim nächsten Mal denkt er hoffentlich vorher nach!
Brother, do you have BEÄNS?
It’s not you, it’s people.
What are your hobbies?
*list things I like doing*
No, I mean REAL hobbies!
Ist ja nicht so, dass die Deckel bis auf alle Ewigkeit untrennbar verbunden sind.
Ich reiße den Deckel immer in einer Bewegung mit dem Aufschrauben ab.
It does exactly say so. Flatpak is the only supported and official method of installation when you’re not using Ubuntu.
Exactly. And the Flatpak version from Fedora was unusable.
They don’t. It’s just unsupported.
