It's Now Easier Testing Out Xfce Git Code With Docker

You forget the agd5f wip kernel + the oibaf ppa in that debian Then you have the ultimate, fastest, bestest ..... whatever system of the world.

And you forgot the "non debug 200hz kernel".

Or you could be for solutions for all distros. Docker is one, but it'd be nice if we could get all desktop environments be flatpak installations or other such things so that any distro user can install any DE easily. That'd be a dream come true!

A desktop seems unlikely to be supported by FlatPak anytime soon. It (and Snap) are designed to run sandboxed applications from within a desktop... whereas a desktop (especially in the Wayland model) is the ultimate in privileged processes. Basically, you want the user-level packaging aspects of FlatPak, without any of the mechanism used to run the packages...

i think you mean 1000mhz kernel.

Yes, it's a problem, and it won't be resolved until either FP supports root programs, or an alternative comes about that can. I thought FP actually could run non-sandboxed apps, so in that case it should already be able to run root programs.
