From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi. I recently published my app on Flathub and have been steadily updating it to make it better.
With it you can download Music from Youtube and tag it to create a beautiful collection of local Music. Check it out: https://flathub.org/apps/net.fhannenheim.musicfetch
tl;dr rust yt-dlp frontend in a flatpak for some reason
yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).
Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.
Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.
Especially the made up kind. 🙄 The good news is lots of people here won't show up in my feeds anymore.
Also, CLI apps are not that great on phones. I like CLI on a desktop computer, but on my Debian phone I prefer GUI.
To make it easier to download and use I imagine.
That's what things like deb and rpm are for, or scripts to download and compile locally.
Edit: thank you tomalley8342 for being the single person to reply with any basic sense. It's a hell of a thing to thank someone for but with how stupid everyone else has made this comment thread I really do mean it.
It also what flatpak is for. What's your point?
I don't even like Flatpak, yet here I am thinking this is a stupid comment.
Congrats to Katzenmann for publishing this app. Will try it on my Debian phone, was looking for something like this!
I can say that the app works on mobile but I still need to optimize it. The UI is a bit weird when the scaled small and the keyboard doesn't auto-activate because libcosmic is missing support for the wayland protocol used to do that.
This is why we can't have nice things.
~~The community~~ Vocal members thereof, instead of seeing genuine effort as something praiseworthy always find the worst stupid angle to belittle well-meaning people from.
I'd sure like to know where I belittled OP. The comment is factual, no judgments were made. Not by me anyway.
I'm judging the shit out of you now though.
I mean it's not that belittling for sure. But you said something you didn't need to say either. Op is happy sharing their first app and you stating "facts" is something no one asked for. My mother taught me: it's okay to stfu sometimes
