I making a point that you seem to be missing. If you have to point out some way to get around a problem that any given user will have with a piece of software, then that’s why your software is not being used. This is the continual problem with the Linux community, they think that everyone wants to learn this stuff. Most people just want their software to work. They don’t want to have to do any sort of googling to figure out why it’s crashing or why it’s running slow or why it doesn’t have this or that feature. Every time someone like you tries to point out that someone can just google something you lose another person that may have been willing to use FOSS in the future. Instead, maybe go try to fix their problem because they sure as hell aren’t going to.
First, YOU missed the point in the original context which is different versions of different libraries may be needed to run software. Flatpak solves that particular problem.
Second, I don't owe you or anyone tech support, nor do I care about your satisfaction level with software. Use it or don't.
If you're the kind of helpless person who has to be spoon fed answers, then perhaps Linux or FOSS isn't for you, and other alternatives exist that have professional support staffs.
You act as though inputting the same information ("What is Flatpak?") into a search engine instead of a random comment on a random forum is just A BRIDGE TOO FAR. That's a pathetic attitude, but plenty of people will still step up to help the helpless. I just don't have to spend my free time being one of them - though I often have when it's obvious they've already at least tried to find an answer on their own.
This is it exactly. The foss works fine and does the job these guys are just whiny bitches who want everything handed to them in perfect condition...but without conditions.
Oh no I have to mod a config file to make it do what I want...why can't the devs just read my mind?!?!??
nobody has to read anyone's fucking mind, why can't you just make it a fucking settings menu? You're the ones making it HARDER TO EVANGELIZE FOSS. For fuck's sake! You're entirely missing the point!
