Well. At least they're not studying school massacres or the problem with rapes on campus or something like that. That would be _really_ scary....

[jo-erlend]

Well, unlike many other things people complain and cry about in the FOSS community, a GPU is something you've paid for. And particularly considering the...

[jo-erlend]

Well, it's not the only thing that happens on first launch and in some cases it's up to the software whether or not it wants to cache it or not. What...

[jo-erlend]

This is an asynchronous environment. There is no guarantee that I will ever see your response. Given that premise, would you rather have me overestimate...

[jo-erlend]

I don't fully understand the question, I think. Snaps use SquashFS, like AppImage does. Would any compressed filesystem ever require you to either load...

[jo-erlend]

AppImage doesn't have sandboxing. It's just a self-contained filesystem that happens to allow for execution, sort of like autorun on a CD-ROM. In the...

[jo-erlend]

You don't actually have to give them the benefit of the doubt. The fact is that even if they had released their internal system, you wouldn't be able...

[jo-erlend]

It's a web server with an open source API. You really think it's critical for you to have access to Canonical's internal server systems for using an open...

[jo-erlend]

It is better to say that Snap tries to fix problems with the traditional distro, whereas Flatpak tries to improve app delivery. You might not want to...

[jo-erlend]

Your assumptions are wrong and your conclusion is illogical. Flatpak is designed in a way that makes it impossible for Flatpak users to avoid dealing...

[jo-erlend]

Snaps do a great deal more than just desktop apps. Flatpak cannot provide low-level system things, like Snaps can, for instance. Maybe you don't think...

[jo-erlend]

Everyone uses Linux for their own purposes. Microsoft is a corporation. They sell Windows and Office. There are lots and lots of people who absolutely...

[jo-erlend]

If Canonical forces everyone to use snaps, then how come there are so many Ubuntu spins that doesn't use Snap? Does this make sense to you? In fact, to...

[jo-erlend]

I don't understand your question. Of course you are. You are also perfectly allowed to run your own Snap distro if you want to. And more importantly,...

[jo-erlend]

Not everyone can be easily radicalized. It is true that there is a war against Ubuntu and that certain communities are using conspiracy theories to recruit...

[jo-erlend]

You're free to believe that the situation in Personal Computing has not changed since 2004, but most people will disagree with you and say that actually,...

[jo-erlend]

It certainly doesn't hurt. But there's no reason for Flatpak to be in trouble just because Snap is successful. They're not conflicting, so this is not...

[jo-erlend]

Gnome and Gnome Shell isn't the same thing....

[jo-erlend]

I think that what Linux users want the most, is easier access to software. Easier access to software means higher levels of security are necessary. That...

Using VirGL, I think QEMU+KVM feels _much_ faster than Virtualbox for Linux guests. I hardly ever use any Windows VMs, so I can't compare....
