I wonder what your reasoning was for rolling your own compared to just using something like OpenSuse’s MicroOS

Alpine Linux tho 😈 /j

You can use Gnome Disks to do that with buttons instead of opening /etc/fstab

A better analogy is a Ferrari towing tree trucks

Include “Winnie the Poo” into your next oss project!

Even if you know what you’re doing:

Arch recommends reading their newsletter before updating.

Personally I don’t understand the large warnings on flatpaks built by others, by that logic you should get a warning sign each time you download from the Ubuntu community apt repository.

OSS is built out of love, and to me this warns guilty before proven innocent.

As a maintainer of another unofficial flatpak:

You can always check the source code of the flatpak (code that downloads the dev then runs it inside the flatpak sandbox) here: https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal

Any of the current maintainers could add malicious code, but that would ruin their GitHub & by proxy:Twitter,LinkedIn credibility.

Flathub have final say on what is built and hosted on their flatpak repository (Flathub != Flatpak) and are able to remove versions at will.

Don’t ascribe to malice what can be plainly explained by incompetence.

Let me try to reply to your somewhat heated rebuttal, Last I used arch (that was manjaro 4years ago; endeavorOS 3 years ago) so yes quite a while back I confess, I encountered multiple issues updating some of these listed below:

NVidea

As I updated sporadically around once every 1-4 months with little time to spare for system maintenance and the prime requirement It Just Works™️ running Steam, in both cases eventually it didn’t cut it for me.

I only recently learned that updating without being subscribed to their newsletter is not recommended, none of the YouTubers or Arch enthusiasts I’ve come across warn about this.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance Read before upgrading the system Before upgrading, users are expected to visit the Arch Linux home page to check the latest news, or alternatively subscribe to the RSS feed or the arch-announce mailing list. When updates require out-of-the-ordinary user intervention (more than what can be handled simply by following the instructions given by pacman), an appropriate news post will be made.

I’m sorry but arch is a terrible choice for a first Linux OS: it breaks often, and has problems updating it if you don’t update regularly, (stuff only Linux Nerds overlook when advising an OS).

Go for something like; Linux mint, PopOS, Ubuntu

Omg it even works for “NaN”
