For at least a week now, the flatpak site, "org.freedesktop.Platform,"
freezes
up when I click, "Y."
I have no idea what this means, other than some of my flatpaks are not
updating.
My personal experience with flatpaks has been bittersweet.
I would not recommend them, nor snaps, nor appimage to first-time Linux
users. There are numerous reasons for that, which I would think you
all would
know far more than I would.
I would not really recommend them to anyone on a wi-fi signal, unless you
have some
100 Mbps wi-fi, that is reliable.
I can't speak for the super Linux nerds, but I would think they would not
be crazy about
having all your additional software as flatpaks, but I would be curious
what their opinions
are on that.
I have notices some strange behaviour with flatpaks. In a simple game
like Aisleriot Solitaire,
I have noticed it performs differently, or maybe more poorly. I have
already forgotten, but there
were something annoying that may have caused me to just install it
natively, as I play a game
of FreeCell at least once per day. [ Sidenote: My obsession with that
is likely left over addiction
from W&*%&$! 95, probably. I guess by now, I have played 10,000 games of
FreeCell.
( I wonder if in another dimension of time and space, Bill G8%%$ put
Mahjonng on W&*%&$! 95,
instead, and there is another me out there who is addicted to Mahjonng.
( Only played about 200 times ). ]
Do you all know the reason that MS Pinball was not included in Windows XP
? They lost
it. They could not find it. Some geek tried to port it or
something a few years ago, and there is video on
YouTube on how to install it. I personally think the pinball games
from Windows were one
of the coolest things about Windows, back in the 90's. I do not care
for the free pinball games,
although there are some good ones on the web. I have not even played
real pinball in 20 plus
years.
