So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it's about as good as any first-pass bash script.

It'd be a stretch to call it malware, it's probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.

So you’re saying it’s about as robust as a typical Linux application then?

Packagers job to make it fit their distro, innit?

As a package maintainer, it's a lot of fun sometimes!

I bet, both ironically and genuinely, depending on the cade. Flatpak must feel like a godsend to a lot of people haha

I've actually never used flatpak, I still prefer distro-specific package managers

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Flatpak is really nice imo. You can have stable distro with up-to-date apps. And sandboxing for proprietary stuff, which is really nice.
