Well there is your problem. Why are you going outside?

Ah sorry my bad. I fell for your trolling.

What did you write? I got from your comment that you don’t like flatpak and want something better without giving any hint what that could be.

Sure what are the other options?

I use an Extension that can show the output of shell scripts in the bar to monitor different things about my system like CPU/RAM/Swap/Network usage and some more things I just want to keep an eye on like distrobox status.

I also used the OpenBar extension to move the bar to the bottom and do color customisations for the system and notification menus.

Do you mean the username of your home directory? Because you can also use “$HOME” in scripts to refer to it without having to give the specific file path

Is there a nice way to check if something is already installed or do you just install it again and that just skips already installed stuff?

Can you use OPNsense for general things or is it tailored to one specific usecase?

I only installed it once for fun in a VM but didn’t really use it. It’s different to Linux but you could get used to it. As far as I know however the hardware that it properly runs on is quite limited, mainly older stuff. So I wouldn’t recommend it as a daily driver but I would recommend to try it out.

Switch to BSD

Alright looks neat but did you plan the release of this to be at the same time that Pocket shuts down?

Ubuntu is using Snaps though…

Is there no other way on your system to see what the default browser is? On Gnome you can see a few of your default applications in the settings. And what happens if you open an html file for example? Does it open in Zen? If yes then it appears that Zen is set as your default browser, what more is there to check?

Probably but I think if the original comment wanted the message to disappear they would also have done that.

I thought flatpaks were created to make packaging easier, not to solve all security issues. Still sounds like a win to me.

Flatpak Zen Browser is never asking me to be the default. Maybe it did in the beginning but I don’t remember.

Don’t AppImages also have a similar requirement just with stuff that is already installed on many popular distros so many people just don’t notice it? I think I read somewhere that running AppImages on systems that even slightly differ from the big popular distros is a pain since you still have to ship this stuff with them but it is more cumbersome than with flatpaks.

If you have apps in your dock you can also use “Super + 1-9” to start those apps. For example i have the browser on the first position and the terminal on the second so i switch between them with Super+1 and Super+2. It’s also the same on Windows with apps in the task bar by the way. I am fine with it so far but I have thought about switching to a distro with a tiling window manager but the distro I currently use just doesn’t support those and I don’t want to leave right now.

Whatever makes you feel more superior, lol. There are many paths.

And finally: I rewrote all my stuff in C because I didn’t like the overhead of Python and wanted to go more minimalist.
