I read "fans" as in these nice things that blow air... And I was wandering what "flatpak fans" were... I'm definitely getting old and tired.

1 - bloat
2 - click-bait title

I agree with others that the source article is using a click-bait title convention unnecessarily, but I disagree that the tool is bloatware.

I use tmux and vim for the vast majority of my daily tasks, and I still recognize the benefit of having GUI options for others.

I'll never understand why some in our community show so much disdain for software contributions made by voluneers simply because it doesn't directly benefit them.

Some FOSS communities might benefit from a "link only to source" rule, i wonder if this will be published as a link to github with a descriptive title this will get upvoted.

Cool? But I think some package managers can already do this once you add the appropriate repos. I know fedora can, and it handles updates too.

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.
