Sqlite is absolutely installed on the most devices, but there is a big grey area depending on how you count “used”
I have 30 apps on my phone, am I a single sqlite user? or 30 of them?
Facebook/Netflix/etc. uses postgres/mysql, does that count as 1 user or a billion?
The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.
It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release
GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)
Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories
Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget
“how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first”
You have to pay for visual studio too if it is for business use (the license is also SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than rider)
My coworker uses VS and it seems like the IDE is doing nothing - every time I open one of his projects in rider 85% of the code is highlighted with suggested optimizations and refactors that VS thinks is fine
For what it’s worth I’ve never had an issue launching a game from a library on my NTFS partition
Windows doesn’t have ext4 compatibility. When you mount a Linux partition through WSL you aren’t actually mounting the drive itself, you are booting a VM up and piping all I/O through that VM back to an emulated disk device on the host windows OS
You would be better off having your steam library on an NTFS partition - at least your Linux OS can read the drive natively
This is disingenuous on OPs part.
All LTS releases get 5 years of updates. Ubuntu pro (which is free for non-commercial users FYI) extends the LTS support window to 10 years, which is 5 years more than any other Linux distribution I know of
To elaborate a bit more, there is the MySQL resource usage and the docker overhead. If you run two containers that are the same, the docker overhead will only ding you once, but the actual MySQL process will consume its own CPU and memory inside each container.
So by running two containers you are going to be using an extra couple hundred MB of RAM (whatever MySQL’s minimum memory footprint is)
Because many apps will (or would prefer to) only be bundled as Flatpak.
This reads like speculation to me and is directly contrary to the file counts on flathub and snapcraft. What about CLI apps and server software? How are they supposed to distribute their software if not via snap? (Flatpak doesn’t support this well)
could just as well be a rant why Canonical shouldn’t have introduced Snaps in the first place
You are acting like Ubuntu core (and snaps) came after flatpak? Snaps were announced almost a decade ago
Like, I get you don’t like snaps, but your argument is basically “every Linux distribution should ship the same default software, and it should be the software I choose”
Why do you need to have two package formats that do the same thing installed by default? If you could install snaps and flatpaks both from the same store you could have 2 (or 3 if you also installed the .deb) copies of the same app, like steam etc installed, and user sessions and games set up on one wouldn’t be launchable from the other because they all store their state and config in different locations - the only way to know what config your program is launching with would be to inspect and rename the launcher scripts. If you are intending to support naive users this is the absolute worst case scenario. It would be like debian including pacman by default as well alongside apt for maximum user accessibility confusion.
it won’t necessarily take twice the resources of a single mysql container
It will as far as runtime resources
You can (and should) just use the one MySQL container for all your applications. Set up a different database/schema for each container
They didn’t “disable the format”
From your own link:
Do keep in mind that “not installed by default” is not the same as “not available to install at all”. To this end, Flatpak continues to be available in the Ubuntu repos, and users of Ubuntu flavors are free to install Flatpak
APK isn’t a closed source format just because Google operates the main store.
If there was community effort someone could spin up their own snap store, this person did it https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/lol-an-open-source-snap-server-implementation/27109 - problem is, it would serve no benefit because you would have to create your own signing authority and patch snapd to use those assertions instead - and then you are still relying on a central authority to vet and sign releases and frankly I would rather have my software signed by canonical than someone random guy operating their own snap store
Which is why I phrased my above comment in the very precise and deliberate way I did.
You don’t need to interface with canonical’s server to use snaps, you only need to do so if you want snaps that have been approved by and signed by canonical. Anyone can create a snap and privately distribute and install it, and every part of that process is open source.
Every line of snap code that touches your computer is open source, so “closed off” is absolute hyperbole when you are discussing the format
The curl that ships with apt is ubiquitous enough that I trust doing sudo curl xxx yyy more than enough if it means avoiding typing curl xxx /tmp/yyy && sudo mv /tmp/yyy yyy
Is curl so untrusted that you would prefer to use 3 commands (one which still needs root permissions) instead?
You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100
