2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Oh god, how bad flatpak is. I say this as someone who used to head up a security group for an OS.

    do you have anything to back this up other than a fuzzy claim of authority? so far when I see people say things like this they're always talking about a handful of since fixed vulnerabilities early on in the project

    Every time I update my flatpak apps I get a warning about deprecated libraries. I don't think flatpak is the issue but rather apps being able to not update really old libraries that could have security patches available. Does anyone know of a way to force these old libraries to update?

    On Flatpak? Probably not. You update those libraries, even manually, and things will most probably break.

    One of the many reasons I don't like Flatpak. You really don't have any control over how these packages are delivered. What the package maintainer did, that is it. But there's a new version. Nope, not if the package maintainer doesn't update.
