I know it’s called plasma, and I don’t know if it’s actually plasmas fault, don’t judge me, it’s for the meme

    AUR waterfox-bin, btw (¬‿¬") I’m almost glad to have made the mistake to install Arch because through AUR I don’t have to get involved in these flatpack/snap/appimage wars xD (also because I have no clue what I am doing, but don’t tell anyone)

      ahah lol that’s fair, i maintain the flatpak so whenever i see someone with Waterfox on Linux I get curious. Love the AUR but I’m mostly on immutable distros so I don’t get to use it qwq

        I actually used the flatpak on my mint install a while ago, had no problems. So great work for a great browser I’d say xD thanks o7

          lol thanks, it’s more of a side project atm as I’m juggling school and running IT for my dad’s business but I’m glad to hear it worked for you!

        This is unrelated but what’s the appeal toward immutable distros to you?

        I don’t mean this in a hostile way I’m genuinely curious to know. I usually consider the ability to change anything about Linux as quite a big selling point so these distros seem kinda counterproductive to me.

          Immutable distros are actually easier to customize and tinker with than traditional distros, while being safer. Example: Universal Blue

          Basically what IverCoder said, but also sometimes I like not having to tinker with my desktop at all. I’m running through an Arch Install on my Thinkpad right now just for the fun of it and I do love this kind of thing, but I’ll admit the concept of plugging in a USB stick, installing a distro in one click, downloading my apps through Flatpak and not having to mess with the CLI a whole bunch is very appealing. Yes you can do that with Ubuntu or whatever but (at least in my workflow) you still have to mess with the CLI a bit.

          Basically, I like messing with Linux sometimes but other times I just want a, I suppose Windows-like experience while still having Linux under the hood.

        Distrobox says hi! I used the AUR occasionally when I was on Silverblue and there weren’t any alternatives short of compiling the software myself. Or rarely if I needed a newer version of something.
