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.

debian 12.11, organic maps from flatpak.

My local organic maps started to download the whole world. Every single map it could find. I tried stopping it but the only way to achieve that is to turn the application off. On starting it again, it resumes downloading.

Why?

The android based version found on f-droid is easier to use. I wanted to use the desktop based one because I work from home more often than elsewhere.

Are you positive it's all the maps or maybe just the world map overview?

Also sidenote, look at the fork of OrganicMaps called CoMaps

The desktop version feels more like a prototype to help with development/debugging then an actual user-facing app. (especially given how all the debugging stuff is right there in the main toolbar)

File a bug or issue with the project. I assume the desktop version does this by default because it's not expected to have offline detection functionality.

It's not by default, I've used it before and it worked fine
