“Stop rushing to fix bugs for people without a support contract. Patch security flaws at a more leisurely pace unless someone is willing to pay for greater urgency. Take your time and enjoy your hobby more, since that is what unpaid software maintenance is.”

there are multiple reasons to avoid packaging hyprland

the developer being a transphobic shitter is a big one, but you can also do it because the code is worthless garbage

it's also funny to annoy an entire community of idiots

there's literally no downside to not packaging hyprland

There have been discussions about what Flathub should do to push developers to maintain their apps on the latest versions of the published runtimes.

Here is my take on the topic: We should build an App Store that is respectful of the developers time: tim.siosm.fr/blog/2025/11/24/b

If there is one thing I'd wish to never hear again, is that "having more settings" is somehow "having control".

For the love of all that is holy, stop clinging into UI toggles to cope with your alienated existence cause you are not in charge of anything else that happens in your life.

And you don't control a thing either. Someone else *let you* switch the toggle. Someone had to put it there, it didn't manifest from the ether.

This isn't control, its only bad design.

@thibaultamartin mkosi is not that much more complicated than your usual Containerfile, and its much more robust than random RUN dnf install && ./build.sh

But as I said the main selling point of OCI is that you don't have to figure out the hosting infrastructure at all.

Maybe someone can take the mkosi particleOS OBS setup and make it into a easy to use template, but nothing as widesprad yet.

@chergert Now try doing them without adhd meds and additionally needing to explain to people why its fucking impossibly draining, distracting and useless. Let alone trying to recall what happened in the first place.

@pojntfx The EU is the largest neoliberal project in the world and they still don't grok that the only thing people actually like about it are the regulations they pass by accident.

@danirabbit I get your point but until we live in any serious country where things like this would be regulated, as opposed to letting fantasy leagues and slot machines brick the brains of people, centralization is the only way to have some form of quality control and moderation.

Even if you have multiple distributors, you still need a central authority that will regulate what's going on, since this things can be actively harmful to the society at large.

@thibaultamartin Simpler design, not constrained by OCI and all its faults, has more guarantees security wise.

@thibaultamartin Bootc doesn't have much to do with this itself. Its making it somewhat easier to create whatever offshoot distro you like so that's why its mostly these kind of images that are around, and you can get basically free hosting of your image in github/ghcr.

But I get you, what you need is to install proper GNOME OS!! What it will use to do the updates doesn't matter much.

(if anything, sysupdate is an upgrade in my book over OCI)

@q66 It sucks and its annoying, but dependency cycles have been here for a while and a solvable problem. I don't think personally its that important to to try to optimize them away.
