@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with #opensuse#slowroll (I suspect #tumbleweed is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory
The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd
@pastermil@linux the attack surface for something that isn't officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn't have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.
e.g. #arch / #aur recommends verifying scripts manually before installing, and malicious scripts have been found and removed.
There are actors like #jiatan out there. An unofficial #flatpak needs manual verification before install - that's why I just go with #snap if the flatpak isn't official
I cannot figure out how to install a #flatpak application with an additional locale. On my workstation, #thunderbird is installed with en only, while on my laptop it is installed with en, de. I would like to install de on my workstation as well. If anyone has any advice on how to do this, thanks in advance. 🫣
Channeling Jerry Seinfeld. What's the deal with the lack of flatpak server/services software?
On Ubuntu Server a ton of command line tools and services are snap packaged. Why isn't this happening with flatpak? Is there some fundamental difference that prevents flatpak from being used like snaps are on the server?
This "packagers thinking they know better than the developers, and unilaterally patching things" mentality, along with distros often shipping outdated versions, is why many upstream software developers dislike dealing with Debian (& any LTS distro), and now ask users to test/run #Flatpak versions of their applications first and foremost.

I'm frustrated with #Github issue search. I am looking for issues on #Flatpak repo that contains "sort" or "sorting". Github says there is no issue containing "sort" or "sorting"
