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.

Bro, a developer (which I am not) voiced his opinion. What's the need for the toxicity? Isn't it better for everyone if we all ask questions or provide our opinions respecting others? This is the reason why ANY difference of opinion ends up turning into a heated and useless argument. If you have something to counter what he said, by all means, bring it to the table. @hperin didn't say anything out of place.
I think you're both on something either really good or really bad. I added to the sentiment about appimages and you're both too busy sniffng your own farts too actually read the very short thing I wrote. You'd rather create a narrative in your own head about what a big meanie I am. So be in it then.
In conclusion, screw both of you, you're blocked. I have only marginally more patience for stupid than Linus does and you're both well past that. Have a nice day.
You too bud. A great week actually.
One specific implementation by a terrible company that can barely manage to check quality control on their actual products isn’t a very good example of appimage’s problems.
Not saying they don’t have problems. But having seen creality’s version of Marlin, I gotta say, I’d be willing to bet they rebranded something, but using vastly out of date versions.
Probably should switch to simplify3d, prusa or cura.
While you're not wrong, the problem I was referencing is an outdated library embedded in the image. It makes the whole app crash and it could happen to any app.
That’s a creality problem. Not an appimage problem.
They’d have a just as shitty flatpak or whatever else they used; because that’s how the company is.
Are you trying to tell me creality is the only one who would ever embed a library in an appimage? Isn't that supposed to be half the point, that it comes with what it needs?
No. I’m telling you that they won’t maintain it properly.
Not when it’s a reskinned cura fork. There marlin (printer firmware- nominally more important) versions are old too… last I checked, by years.
