Google is broken, they have had no end user service for many years.

I think you can get service if you are a government or large company.

Hibernation needs a swap partition that's at least the same size as the memory.

Nvm: vivid.. already mentioned hibernation.

Yep that's all well and good, but what flatpack doesn't do automatically is clean up unused libs/dependencies, over time you end up with several versions of the same libs. When the apps are upgraded they get the latest version of their dependency and leave the old behind.

10 out of 40 is 25%

10 out of 4000 is 0.25%

Great that you have 4tb on your root partition then by all means use flatpack.

I have 256Gb on my laptop, as I recall I provisioned about 40-50gigs to root.

I should have noted that I'll compile myself when we are talking about something that should run as a service on a server.

Because it's easier to use the version that's in the distro, and why do I need an extra set of libraries filling up my disk.

I see flatpack as a last resort, where I trade disk space for convenience, because you end up with a whole OS worth of flatpack dependencies (10+ GB) on your disk after a few upgrade cycles.

If I can choose between flatpack and distro package, distro wins hands down.

If the choice then is flatpack vs compile your own, I think I'll generally compile it, but it depends on the circumstances.

I think it's easier to fill a little extra after having turned on the engine.

It's a new coding paradigm, I will take some time getting used to looking for libraries in the uyghur/tianamen folder.

They can use the same name but if the owner signs their commits we can at least spot the fake commits.

And even if they clone all repos they don't clone the build systems, so their builds of apps and windows installers will be signed with different keys.

For people who follow guides to clone something from a repo, compile it and install it, they need to be on their guard if the repo URL is not the official one.
