Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?
  • Nope, a lot of software will try to bundle as much dependencies as needed by default, which makes building from source much easier. Distributions will then "unbundle" them, to keep packages reusing system libraries as much as possible

  • Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?
  • apt install build-essential
    apt build-dep emacs
    wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-30.1.tar.xz
    tar -xf emacs-30.1.tar.xz
    cd emacs-30.1
    ./configure —prefix=/usr/local
    make
    make install
    

    Edit: forgot cd

  • I created a new community for arcade racing games !arcaderacing@lemm.ee

    lemm.ee Arcade Racing - lemm.ee

    A community for any and all arcade racing games.

    I would love to grow this community more, meet more people interested in this subject, and grow in my passion for arcade racing games!

    Favorite Racing Game Soundtrack?

    > For me: the Out Run OST. Everyone listens to and praises Nintendo OSTs or Square Enix, but Out Run is something else. I have rarely listened to video game music that catchy.

    What makes arcade racing games beautiful

    An arcade racing game done well is simple: you are in a vehicle, and you want to go fast. The first hour of the game, or even the first ten minutes of the game, you get it--you move quickly through a handcrafted environment, with great movement and consequences for failure. It is the quintessential game when it comes to easy to learn, hard to master. And yet, there is nothing violent about it, or scary, or all that stressful (unless it's one of the more competitive or difficult ones, like Trackmania). It just feels good.

    Open world arcade racing games especially feel like one of the only types of games where you can turn it on and just relax. Listen to music, enjoy the scenery, drive a fast car through a busy city, and zone out. There are a few other single-player games with a similar zone out feeling, but not many, and certainly not many as pure and fun as arcade racers.

    Would anyone be interested in an arcade racing game community?

    I personally love arcade racing games, but I found no community on Lemmy. There is a need for speed community, but it looks dead. Is anyone else passionate about arcade racing games and would be interested in this?

    Distro suggestions
  • I understand it completely. However, my point of view is that, even in the case of the Amazon searches, it was easily disableable. I prefer Ubuntu flavors over base Ubuntu, which are run by the community and only do the bare minimum for Canonical to approve them as flavors (like add firefox as a snap). All of that bare minimum work can be easily undone in my opinion. Though, I understand avoiding Canonical when possible.

  • Distro suggestions
  • In my opinion, go with Ubuntu. First, any issues you have with Ubuntu can be fixed easily; snaps can be easily removed, as well as amazon links, gnome tweaks and the rest. Second, unlike Debian, Ubuntu has the hardware enablement stack, which means that any supported Ubuntu release will run on hardware newer than that release, and your graphics card should run with a much newer driver. Any gaming distros built on Ubuntu are probably fine, but will only give marginal improvement to FPS.
