    Early versions of Audacious had a Winamp-like gui by default. It was a fork of XMMS, which was almost indistinguishable from WinAmp, visually. So, you may want to take a look at XMMS2 as well, if you have not already. The only downside to Audacious to me is that streaming media can be choppy on older machines, like the 1999 Athlon someone threw out and I rescued from curbside trash, and which I run Lubuntu 16.04 on. Xine works better for web radio on that thing. This may have more to do with the ancient machinery I task it with, though. Thanks for discussing these features!

    Flatpaks do not suck. They are the future of packages on Linux. They make it so it doesnt matter what distro you are using, you can have the same version and know the software is going to work. I thought repo packages where better, but after I ran into a few issues I started using flatpak and well THEY JUST WORK. There are still some things I install as a repo package but that is mainly just system apps now. Also flatpaks makes it so the maintainer just has to do one version, not check to see what kernel, libraries, package format (deb, rpm, etc) so they can just work on their app.

      Permissions are exactly why I despise flatpak, when I started to use Linux I needed a couple of packages to do what I needed and they wouldn't talk to each other or the system properly. I get WHY the idea of isolating the software is in high regard as well as easily updated and maintained, but my deity ASK ME TO GIVE ACCESS instead of requiring the use of the terminal - ASK, even iOS and Android do this effortless thing. Can't use Blender properly through Flatpak because it's isolated and can't talk to the GPU for more efficient rendering, i HAVE TO use the terminal to force permissions, and no Flatseal doesn't help. (This isn't the only software I've had issues with, just a good example). "The program requests read and write permissions, do you want to give permission? Press Yes - No" "The program requests access to the following hardware, do you want to give permission? Press Yes - No" That's it, not that hard. Linux already has password protection for kernel/system-level installs. I shouldn't have to use the terminal for such a small thing.

    "I never understood why the Linux Community couldn't agree on one package manager" Because of those "technical details" you said were boring.

They have different goals, different reasons for existing, and fundamentally different solutions.

Either you make it lightweight and have support on only one system, or you make it robust and heavy and give support to every system. Each system's package manager opts for the former, while flathub opts for the latter.

      ​@@friendlyalien379 I don't mean lightweight as just filesize (though that is part of it, packaging in extra libraries costs more than a few mb, especially expensive ones). Lightweight means it interacts directly with your system and the way it's set up with little to no overhead. It also means that it is simple. Packaging for all systems doesn't just require you to include more libraries in - it requires dealing with distro-specific oddities such as differences in FHS, development cycles, low-level programs, etc. As a very simple example, what do you want? The most up-to-date software, or older and more likely stable software. Some systems choose the former, others choose the latter. But to choose both means hosting both, maintaining both, and fixing both. This is called "overhead". To get the best of both worlds, you must sacrifice the lightweight simplicity of one and account for both. Thus, you cannot have both a "lightweight" system and support everyone.

    Look into portals. The permissions are more of a legacy option. Portals should he the future way to handle files etc. The file picker is a system component, i guess. If you chose a file or a location to save a file, they are given through that portal from or to the app. Nothing more, nothing less. The app itself can not see the filesystem AFAIK. Please additional do your own research on this, as I am not sure about half of it 😁

  • @skorne7682

    I think that while it's good practice to have decent security on apps you don't really trust you can never be 100% secure - at least not if you ever want to get anything done on your computer. Worrying about what every single piece of software on your system can access is a rabbit hole with no bottom. Are you going to go look at the entire source code of every non-flatpak program on your system to check if someone slipped in some malware? It can and does happen as we saw with XZ recently. The only true way to protect your user files is a robust backup system preferably with both local and off-site backups.

    @renner0395 29 дней назад

    You have to restart the app for permission changes to actually do something. the filesystem=host permission doesn't mean root access/write to /usr or /etc. The flatpak is run as a regular user and can only read (just like your regular user) system files. In fact there are no privileged flatpaks (yet afaik) think gparted, timeshift etc. Hell you can't even make a proper file manager like dolphin in flatpak due to deep system integration/scope of dolphin. Many permissions are way to generous and the reason is that applications aren't build yet with flatpak/xdg-portals in mind or missing portals for that specific use case the application needs. Existing applications are shoved into an incomplete packaging format and the generous permissions just bridge the gap. Just a reminder every "native" distro package can do everything(!) your user can. A little sandboxing > no sandboxing at all Flatpak is not Android/not there yet but it is the best we have right now for the linux desktop.

    • @friendlyalien379

You don't even have to have flatseal installed to run permission commands, you can run them from the terminal. And if you looked at the whole video I deleted the xdg permission and application still had access. And yes flatpak is run as regular user, and permission from that user are applied, not from flatpak. Meaning they can do everything as any other app, so when you say little sandboxing that is not exactly true. And at the statetmant it is the best for Linux that we have right now, I will just say look at my appimages video :)

    When you are using open/save from a program that program is using xdg desktop portal for showing the dialog to user to pick the file. The program is not directly accessing the file hence it still works as the user choose the file and not the program and then the program reads write the file using the portal API. But if you try something like flatpka run progname filename and the flatpak doesnt have file access permission, it will fail.

AppImage just works and is perfect for portability, which isn't a common function for most users, but is absolutely wonderful to have when needed.

    You're under a huge misconception, flatpak is a distribution platform, meant to solve the environment differences for developers amongst distributions, it supports sandboxing but it isn't the main focus of the platform. If you want sandboxing as your main feature, you use containers. The real complain would be defaults, which I would agree shouldn't be too permissive, if flatpak could warn the user of the permissions given by the manifest.json at install or when executing for the first time, that could improve security. Only way default could get forced is if flathub enforce it by not allowing such permissions on the manifest files, but I'm certain that would result on flatpak repository fragmentation so that's why they are too permissive.

    What email provider do you recommend? Even so, Proton Mail is more secure and private than Gmail

      @@Leandromunoz97 if you want security and privacy, you shouldn't use email at all. Because no email will ever be secure or private because of the nature it functions. I use tuta, not because I think they are secure and private, but because they have desktop and mobile app on free tier. And they are not Gmail :)

    It's because they attract scammers, if you create an account on proton, you can't use it to accept OTP for a couple of weeks maybe but if you upgrade to premium, then you are fine

      That's no excuse. And how do you define who is a scamer a who is not? Scamer can also create legit email with stolen number and how will people from Proton know? Unless you ask for people"s id on video call and you are connected to police to actually check that, there is no way for anybody to know if you are who you say you are. And where is your privacy if you have to give anything that can identify you?

      ​@@friendlyalien379 I get your point but a lot of scammers and skids use services such as proton and tuta to send spam or make threats. Because of this a lot of sites do not accept tuta or proton and you're forced to use Gmail or something similar. The extra email verification helps stop some of these scammers and it only pop ups if your ip range has been used before for abuse. Email providers keep a list of abused ip, domains, etc

    I agree, if you really want to be private you should use openpgp... However most people don't want to be "99.99%" secure/private but just "more" private/etc. than a provider like Gmail. Openpgpn+selfhosted mail server is probably always going to be more secure than any third-party provider(assuming you set it up correctly)... But people don't want to go snd setup open PGP that's why people use services like this.

    Hello thank you for the vid :) is there any way to add a hidden directory as a sync/backup folder? or must you add the parent then rely on megaignore?
