It also kind of takes its roots from my frustration with garbage in my home or leftover bullshit in my root

It’s not viable to ditch native packages 100% (like immutable distros). But a combination of two is pretty comfortable imo

But as I said, I am not comfortable with the way flatpak does some things

Small SSD + compression is faster than HDD with no compression ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I’ve been planning to upgrade my (8gb) RAM and SSD, for like, the last 5 years? Never gonna upgrade lol

Exactly what I’m talking about. It reminds me of the time microsoft introduced memory compression to compensate for every application bringing it’s own DLLs

But I still think flatpak is superior to windows way of doing things because it actually has dependency management. I kinda like the idea of having multiple versions of the same library but I wish they did not come in big bundles (runtimes), but instead, came in small 1-2MB pieces.

download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run This is overexaggeration. Flatpak, unlike places windows users get software from, is moderated, and flatpak (although chunky) has shared dependencies

If you got root, running a Linux container under chroot is faster than proot so use that instead.

And if you want a full blown Linux distro then Ubuntu touch or postmarketos it is. Look into libhybris if you want your own distro on your phone

I had plans on testing a dualbooted Linux/Android setup by reflashing the boot partition every time I wanted to switch but haven’t done it yet

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK

I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao
