Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

I like the aur too but a proprietary app that isn't updated to support newer dependencies, it most likely won't run anyway. At that point it's either broken app, broken system, or you don't have anything else installed using that library(yet).

Not an issue on NixOS, you can ship old deps with it

Sounds neat! Don't really care much for messing with config files for hours. This is from someone who uses arch on all his systems. I've been in config hell for a while, I use kde now.

Not great to laugh at the mess Linux is in, due to people paddling in different, incompatible, directions. Users can't choose the package format. They have to take what they are given. Good or bad. I don't care which format. As long as it works. But this is a good way to scare more people off of Linux.

laughs at people scared of choice and "mess" . . .

If they're switcing to linux they should first come to know about open source forking around - arguably - one of the most important features of the whole thing.

If they don't wan't that choice and all that inevitable open source forkery, they probably should go for an apple mac or windows or something like that. And maybe they will have to pay for some software for the privilege because it takes work to do those things. They can of course try plain old ubuntu and do stuff the way canonical wants, that removes quite a bit of choice if it is otherwise too terrifying for them.

But in general, I don't think its a good idea to to try to sell pig-carcasses to vegans by painting them the colours of broccoli.
