Interestingly enough ghcr.io seems to remember old repo-names when pushing an image (probably as long as they originally came from my github). Once I renamed to sth new the build went through. It is also telling, in the larger scheme of things, that I was adding flatpak removal to the code, only to find out I previously wrote a just action for that 🤣 Keeping ourselves busy, are we? 😜

Flatpak keeps complaining about dependencies, so software vendors adjust their bundling strategies...

I am not sure I got the selling point of Flatpak at this point. Wasn't the point to get rid of the dependency…

@… @… I guess it's the snap container. Sometimes I have similar issues with flatpak'd applications if the dragged file isn't in a path the flatpak is configured to access.

I'm surprised to see there is no #flatpak for vk-hdr-layer, which is still required to get Vulkan HDR Extensions on #Nvidia on #Wayland. It's my understanding you can't access

Ach, ich hab immer via Shell geguckt, ob bei mail was bei username@localhost angekommen ist (für privaten Rechner brauch ich kein Forwarding an richtige Mail).
Gerade der Gedanke, ich kann die einfach in Thunderbird als lokalen Ordner anzeigen. Mit Flatpak grob so
1. Bei Flatpak Zugriff auf Ordner /var/mail erlauben
3. `ln -s /var/mail/USERNAME "/home/USERNAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/CHECKMICH.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/System-Mail"

I like Flatpaks, really, but then…
I had a bunch of Qt apps where the dark theme wasn't working. The solution was to install `org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark`, which is the default dark theme, but as Flatpak.
Please, allow me to question this:
Why did I have to do this? I shouldn't have to do this. I shouldn't have to even worry about this. Why did I need to install the dark theme a second time? Why isn't that handled automatically?

Instead of firing up the sloggy web browser to roll some dice and look up a translation I just launched Poliedros and Dialect. They totally did what I needed and nothing else. Nice.

Muss Vivaldi als Flatpak deinstallieren und noch mal neu als deb-Paket installieren. Dann sollte auch die KeepassXC Browsererweiterung funktionieren, die wollte sich nämlich partout nicht mit der Datenbank verbinden. Man lernt als immer noch neuer Linuxuser nicht aus. Gut, dass ich die Lesezeichen dann einfach wieder über das Vivaldi-Konto synchronisieren kann. Wahrscheinlich läuft die Anwendung klassisch installiert sogar noch besser. To-do für heute Abend! Erst mal Erwerbsarbeit mit Windo…

So. That iso with Slackware, nwg-shell on Sway and Niri plus a shitload of goodies (thnx @… ) installed nicely. Cleaned it up a bit and added and compiled Mangowc (aka maomao) myself, to have a closer look at it. Added Homebrew, Flatpak is there by install.
Surprisingly enough this means also I'm out of KDE for the first time in about 5 years.

@… FWIW the flatpak (which i personally maintain) is not as secure as the deb. This is the main reason we did not make it official.
While flatpaks are inherently good (and better for most applications with no sandboxing) the use the same type of sandboxing as Chromium uses for interprocess sandboxing (namespace sandboxing). this causes the interprocess…

man debian packaging is so cursed with modern package managers. It's so oriented around everything being C-shaped libfoo-version.tar.gz files at the core, and everything else is forced into that hole.
I get _why_ but the trade-offs seem really bad now. I can see why Canonical said 'screw it, we're doing snaps’ for a lot of stuff. I can see why flatpak is being used. Of course those just head straight for the cliff of "Security updates? Nah" cliff.

Content warning: re: intense Gnome frustrations no one should be forced to read

and so, once again, the 'solution' isn't in the distro or legacy, it is in the wiki on the internals of Evolution where I just incidentally learn it can be a flatpak or not, and thus there are TWO .local/share folders to wipe. So I delete all accts in Evo, empty trash just in case, exit, wipe those folders, go into Settings, delete the Google connection which shows as two identical so delete them both, reboot.
On boot, go straight to settings which shows none, add Google and I'm in, quick as a wink. I start #Evolution, and lo, there it is, my account fetching emails!
Now to figure that #mastodonel thing and why mastodon.plstore is so problematic.

So, Vivaldi ist jetzt neu als deb-Paket eingerichtet. Jetzt funktionierte auch die Verbindung mit KeepassXC über die Browsererweiterung problemlos. Der Browser läuft so noch schneller als vorher als flatpak.

Playing with that barebone QT6 KDE by @… .
Still alpha alpha, so don't do this if you don't want to.
But: everything working very nicely. Add Homebrew for all things cli. Flatpak for the rest.
And also nice to see that KDE is porting more and more applications to Flathub: Dolphin, Konsole, Gwenview and Okular work very well.
Cool stuff…

Welcome to Aurorix Saigon, my opinionated take on Aurora KDE, showing a menu and a terminal window with installed cli tools. These CLI tools were installed using a predefined list in Homebrew , as was the Ungoogled Chromium flatpak. An automatically created custom image.This is very cool; further tweaking to follow.

BananaFin, my mix of project Banana (immutable KDE/Aurora) and BlueFin, is reaching finalization.Tomorrow some more testing (have brew and flatpak install my own applications upon first boot), but it is all running very smoothly. Aside from this being my hobby as well, you'd just install this and get on with it. And yes, it's a bootc container, from the cloud, secure boot enabled and it runs flatpaks and systemd. And very well, thank you!

Tsja. That Flatpak of KeepassXC requires a higher version of QT5 than Slackware offers atm. There's a slackbuild available, but I'm not gonna use sw by an unknown author to store my pwds. Crack in the mirror. Appimage then.
