Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.
I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.
It doesn’t make sense, Forgejo just forked gitea and discarded all of the history (I.e.: issues and PR) previously included in gitea’s github repository. Of course they could host it on their own platform, it was already functional and they could start from a blank state.
Here’s the specific response and it’s even better than anticipated.

And the best of all… Uwuntu
Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.
As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.
