So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format:
- Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment.
- Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer.
For example:
- Distro (first-level comment)
- Reason (one answer)
- Other reason (a different answer)
Please avoid duplicating options. This will help us better understand the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them.
@manpacket I prefer Flatpak, but Snaps do seem to be getting better, then again I have a history of foolish optimism 🤔
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/using-flatpak.html
$ flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
They still haven’t figure out how to make console experience not miserable, maybe one day…
Fake news.
flatpak install gimp, in terminal, try it.
how is that miserable?
From what I understand from this page and other sources - you have to type that to run
gimp
or other app. At least that’s the impression I’m getting from the documentation. I run most of my stuff from the console and don’t like to use aliases.
