#Linux doesn't know how to get unity and gets divided on installation possibilities. They call it freedom of choice, but really is confusing for linux newbies.

Why do we have installers like,

#deb
#rpm
#Flatpack
Fedora-specific Flatpaks
#AppImage
#AUR
#Synaptics
#Snap

Linyaps: Next-Gen Universal Package Manager for Linux https://github.com/OpenAtom-Linyaps/linyaps

I forgot where I saw something about it yesterday, but it still sounds interesting. However, there were concerns about the Chinese origin of Linyaps. I am curious to see if we will hear more about this in the future.

A Universal Package Manager for #Linux to rule them all? That is what #linyaps claims

Ok so this is fucking strange. For some reason, the #AppImage I build for #Benben runs better than the binary I build on my local machine ​​ Like wtf, they should run nearly identically.

I build my AppImages on a QEMU VM running #Slackware 14.2. My local machine runs Slackware 15.0. Both the VM and my local machine have the same #SBCL version (2.5.7, built from source the exact same way).

I tried recompiling a fresh SBCL, tried building Benben in various ways, even built the AppImage on my Slackware 15.0 machine using the same script I use on 14.2. No change. The AppImage runs better for some reason.

I guess it must be something outside of Benben? Like the PulseAudio libraries that I include in the AppImage or something? Or maybe the difference in GCC versions? Or maybe there was a performance regression in some C library between Slackware 14.2 and Slackware 15.0? But like, I'm seeing it go from 6% to play a FLAC and resample it with sinc-best, down to 1.2%. That's a large drop for a Core i9 10850K.

I am at a total loss right now lol

‹sigh› For like the sixth time, the latest #DoubleCommander snapshot – they come out about twice a week – wouldn't install. I don't know if the autobuild of the #AppImage is going wrong, or if #AppLauncher somehow got borked on my system.

Ah well, #LinuxMint 22.2 should be out soon, and that will mean a fresh install on the next M.2 in rotation, which should fix the problem if it's on my end.

Aus einem anderen Tröt heraus wurde bemängelt das bei #Debian die Versionssprünge recht lang sind und diverse Software somit recht alt ist

Unter #Debian konnte man schon immer die neuesten Versionen nutzen

Zum einen mit #backports
https://backports.debian.org

So habe ich mir #kicad9 für #bookworm geholt

Oder mit #Appimage

Einfach runterladen mit einem Klick ausführbar machen & das Programm zum starten anklicken wie hier mit
#freecad & #arduino

dites les gens du #linux vous savez comment je pourrais intégrer des applis en #appimage correctement dans le bureau ? (typiquement avoir un lanceur dans le menu).

Aeryth : Intégrer une AppImage dans un paquet et le bureau https://linuxfr.org/news/aeryth-integrer-une-appimage-dans-un-paquet-et-le-bureau #gestion_de_paquets #packaging #appimage #debian #Linux #gplv3 #bash #arch

#Appimage #FreeCAD #Linux

The use of appimages in Linux is sometimes somewhat cumbersome, for example you cannot simply select the appimage as the default program for opening the corresponding files. But I found a simple solution here: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=63536 and used it with the one change, adrianinsaval mentioned: "It's probably better to place those in the equivalent user level folders (I think it will be ~/.local/share instead of /usr/share)"

Now I can just doubleclick my files to open them in FreeCAD.

Little release 0.9.3 - #windows #build and #AppImage #LinuxGaming - if someone has access to the linux machine and bit of time please do quick test :)

Hace tiempo realicé este pequeño Script que lanza AppImage.
Su funcionamiento es sumamente simple, coloco el script en mi carpeta de AppImage y luego hago un lanzador para el script y se abre una ventana con todas las AppImage que tengo en la carpeta, doy doble click y se abre la aplicación.

Desde hace algún tiempo he dejado de instalar apps, prefiero AppImage y esto me sirve muchísimo.

Se puede descargar desde aquí:

Alguna vez habéis tratado de instalar algún programa de #linux mediante un AppImage?
No es un proceso súper complejo, pero tampoco inmediato.
He encontrado esta herramienta Gear Lever en la tienda de #linuxmint y hace que el proceso sea muy ágil.
Simplemente:
1. guarda el archivo .appimage descargado en la carpeta AppImage de tu directorio de usuario
2. Abre Gear Lever y usando el + añade tu appimage.
3. Gear Lever se encarga de añadirte el elemento al menú de aplicaciones y de buscarte actualizaciones.

Sospecho que el paso 1 probablemente no sea necesario.

A new unstable/development #AppImage for my music player #benben is up ​​ This is the work-in-progress v0.7.0. I believe I've added all the missing libraries to the AppImage this time. Downloads and source code are all here: https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/wiki?name=Releases
