  • I’ve been using various GNU/Linux distro over the course of the last 20 years. When I started out, packages could never be too fresh and cutting edge. Nowadays I’m an admin and I administer way too many VMs. I dream of a system that I never need to update. While I know that’s almost impossible if you want to be secure now might finally be the time I give slackware a try. I’m also old enough to be more curious about learning less but more in depth.









  • Flatpaks won’t get their libs updated all at once by just updating a library. This can be very bad in cases like bugs in openssl. Instead of just updating one library and all other software benefiting from the fix, with flatpaks, you need to deal with updating everything manually and waiting for the vendor to actually create an update package.

    I’m not 100% sure about this. Flatpak has some mechanisms that would allow to manage dependencies in a common fashion.
