yep, and then they got rid of the ppa and people had to fall back to the deb

it hasn't been a problem lately, but for basically an entire year I was helping first timers through getting a more recent lutris for games because the one mint shipped was ancient and broken and on top of that the 32 bit wine dependencies were practically impossible to resolve for some games

those warnings on mint and flathub are so ridiculous, there's no difference between those and official ones, somebody could just as easily put something nefarious in any flatpak

fwiw those simple names exist, you just haven't added it to your PATH

it's so annoying that these repositories are so ancient that debs are necessary at all . but it comes in handy for things like lutris, which Ubuntu and mint shipped a broken version for at least a year

its a bit verbose but my preference is rm -r --interactive=never directoryname

i really try to avoid rf for myself

not to do the "read the manual" thing, but the manual is linked from archwiki and has at least 5 bullet points of limitations and all the whys to go with them

for what it's worth the pulsaudio APIs aren't going anywhere anytime soon. keeping an eye on the replies out of curiosity though

they have come a long way since the old pi 2 that would max out it's cpu just wiggling the mouse around on the desktop

looking forward to more things using pipewire camera, I don't want to have to think about v4l again

both is good

whenever somebody brings up some terribly ancient Debian/buntu distro with outdated packages we end up having them use a .deb instead since the ppa is long gone and it's been fine. wild that they're often stuck on 4 year old packages though
