From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My only complaint about flatpak is that updating them fails like 50% of the time for seemingly no reason, and I just have to run the update command over and over until they are all updated.
I've never had an update fail with flatpaks?
It happens constantly both on my laptop (suse) and my Steam Deck (arch). Same exact behavior. I gave up trying to debug it, and I just keep retrying the update command until the list is empty.
I am honestly surprised, my arch desktop and my steam deck got no problems of those types. If you find what makes it happens on your systems then maybe it will help improve the tech!
If no one else has this issue, it could very well be something unique to my internet connection!
I've never had anything like this when I used to run arch (with Archivstall). Also not on fedora for months and now back on LMDE.
How are you closing the program? I don't mean with the X button on the desktop environment. I mean command line programs.
What program? I just let
flatpak updaterun through until it returns me to my shell.I'm sorry, I must have responded to the wrong comment. That comment was supposed to be in an entirely different conversation.
Edit: Oh, I just reviewed my inbox. I thought you replied to a different comment of mine. I'm so dumb. Carry on.
Everything alright. We all have some days where just nothing seems to be working right and we make stupid mistakes.
Just this Monday was one for me, even reported an issue to the Ubuntu trackers and upstream, turned out I just had a typo in both my code and minimal working examples.
No biggie at the end of the day.
