It says package managers but I don’t remember seeing any forced restarts with flatpak. I just now updated Firefox but it doesn’t force anything. I just won’t be using the new version before restarting it.
I don’t remember it happening with system packages either on my system but it’s been quite a while since I’ve updated that one.
Gotta move sometime.
“Less touching of the system, less chance of breaking something” seems to be the idea.
I’ve had same sort of issue. A refrigerator cycled on and off and that caused the mouse to disconnect. Also sometimes cause HDMI on my TV to reset connection.
Bootable snapshots though that you can use to rollback your system. More than worth the slower speed
Flatpaks really aren’t for terminal stuff, it at least wasn’t the intention
I think you misunderstood what people meant when they talked it being part of a pussy
I despised the Windows way of everything having their own updater either running in the background or only alerting you when you want to use an app.
AppImage to me feels like a big step backwards.
With the open kernel modules you don’t have to do that anymore
I wouldn’t want to live without bootable snapshots anymore. Other stuff like compression and dedupping is handy but it’s the snapshots that are a killer feature for me.
Since they’re Chromebooks aren’t they already running Linux, with ChromeOS being a very light Gentoo, sort of
It’s usually that way for a reason, is my thinking
I personally couldn’t live without the bootable snapshots that you can use to restore your system. If something goes wrong they’ll save your ass
Friends, family using Jellyfin is the reason many have it directly available (and not behind VPN for example).
It definitely was lol
The benefits easily outweighs the cost of some extra space use. We’re not talking about a lot here, after all, with dedupping, shared runtimes and what have you.
It speeds it up a ton. I set the simultaneous downloads to 8 and it just flies
No need to update when you’ve reached perfection
I know I’ve seen that on Windows and I think on Linux before, but I did a test when writing that post where I updated and then opened a new tab and even a new instance of Firefox and it didn’t bother me about restarting. Weird
