Oh, AutoDesk…you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

    You mean when people just ask someone else instead of heading to the single best information resource that’s ever existed in human history for an immediate answer?

    No. I don’t see why people do that.

        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???

            And the people who defend Windows like they do - the ones who say it’s objectively better - have probably never had to support it professionally on either the help desk side or system admin side. I’ve done plenty of both, and I absolutely LOATH Windows because of it.

            To think that Windows is perfect… My God, what luck they must have had with it. I’ve run into problems where Microsoft themselves were unable to figure out the cause OR the solution, even when paid to do so. We got a refund on that experience, but I have NEVER run into that with Linux or FOSS. Given enough information regarding a problem, I have ALWAYS had someone who will know the answer.
