What is the point of Flatpak, AppImage, Snap, etc? (beehaw.org)
 

I don't understand what problem they are meant to solve. If you have a FOSS piece of software, you can install it via the package manager. Or the store, which is just a frontend for the package manager. I see that they are distribution-independent, but the distro maintainers likely already know what's compatible and what your system needs to install the software. You enjoy that benefit only through the package manager.

If your distro ships broken software because of dependency problems, you don't need a tool like Flatpak, you need a new distro.

Houdini is a web API that Firefox has not implemented yet, hence the existence of such a website. I think I shouldn't have asked about it here, but I'm still curious about it.

Well I was planning to switch anyway for the reasons you just explained, so further moral rhetoric is wasted on me. I'm only asking those who do have knowledge in order to help ease the transition.

I've been waiting for a sign to switch and I think this is it. A few questions though.

  • Does Firefox for Android have tab groups like Chrome for Android?
  • Is Firefox Pocket like Chrome's reading list? My first impression of Pocket was that it was a half-baked feature only really meant to serve ads.

According to the Japanese zodiac, people born in May 1994 would have the zodiac sign of the Snake.

Expect it's Dog, not Snake. Bing thinks it's Ox. How did the entire field of AI go from surprisingly accurate to utterly useless in the span of under a year? I have no idea what benefits you personally see in this site.

[Help] use keyboard from another linux laptop (beehaw.org)
 

Typing on the steam deck, no matter what method I use, is very slow. I have a linux laptop, but I obviously can't plug in the keyboard into the steam deck.

I was considering running KDE connect, but it gets closed in game mode. Could I run some kind of service in the background during game mode? Like is there some kind of systemd target for that?
