If you have binary that is hardcoded to look for some files/libs in a certain path, you can overwrite that path with sed directly lol. You just need to make sure to keep the string length the same.

sed -i s|/usr|././|g will change /usr for the current working dir for example.

All the issues bazzite has with the Steam flatpak are solved by this AppImage

They have a Glfw build, it is a lot smaller and faster but they don't want to support it.

Unfortunately they decided to use the slow bloated mess that is GTK4.

I bought an AMD gpu to use sway, I feel like the fuckers owe me 50 usd now which is what I payed for the gpu.

And it's devs are not willing to fix the most basic issues like correctly handing a fucking environment variable lmao

Not to mention I have a different issue that I haven't even bothered to report because I already know won't be implemented:

I have 3 displays that right now I use xrandr to merge the 3 displays into one, this is not possible in any wayland compositor today, the closest thing I found was someone suggesting to use gamescope to make a window with the resolution of the 3 displays but that's a hack and doesn't work for me because I need the displays to be merged, not just span a single window across them.

There is also no universal xdotool or similar in wayland to query info about windows, so you have to learn to use the CLI tool provided by each DE/WM and then handle the data, which in the case of sway it is json formatted.

So what used to be a simple xdotool <args> | grep became needlessly overcomplicated and different for each wayland DE/WM.

Alright be aware that AM not only can manage appimages, it also manages other portable formats and has access to over a 1000 static binaries from soarpkgs repo.

And it can do all of this at user level when used as appman, that is elevated rights are never needed to install anything and I can just take my HOME and drop it on any distro and be ready to go.

It made me get rid of flatpak all together and become an appimage contributor lol

what

Is topgrade used to update all the package managers at once? how many stuff are you using that you need that???

[–] Samueru_sama@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

but I would have expected Fedora to come with something like this preinstalled tbh

Fedora is just plagued with poor decisions, and that's expected, it is the testing ground of redhat and not something that regular users should be using, they even go as far as repacking existing flatpaks just because and then break them.

A while back they pulled this nonsense that not even upstream approves of: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/issues/661

iirc fedora also enabled wayland by default on gnome in 2016 when pretty much nothing worked.

Rhino linux lets you install AM thru its GUI installer btw.

I'm not, it's a vm that I use to test.

There is quite a lot of systems still stuck on kernel 2.6 that can't be updated, so it is always nice to make sure what I do can work on such.

So, I would say the primary complaint should be a lack of package management.
