You really think they’re going to revisit this? That’s not really how software development works.

It’s an alpha release.

I was talking about Flatpak.

It’s as easy as pie too; they show up right there on the boot menu: <screenshot of KDE followed by apparently random numbers>

I really don’t understand why people have this little awareness of usability. Show the freaking date normally! At least add hyphens.

We tried Dolphin and Konsole as Flatpaks for a while, but the user experience was just terrible.

Yeah I’m fairly sympathetic to Flatpak. It’s way closer to how software should be installed by users. But I have yet to actually use it successfully. Is it really ready?

Still way more annoying than Github. Still, they apparently are moving from an existing mailing list / git send-email “solution”, so it is at least a huge step in the right direction.

If they’re philosophically against Github I don’t know why they didn’t just move to Codeberg though. Maybe that’s too modern for people who have only just moved on from mailing lists.

You’re right of course. I think the issue is that Linux doesn’t care about the UI. As far as it is concerned GUI is just another program. That’s the same reason you don’t have things like ctrl-alt-del on Linux.
