I mean, Flatpaks exist for FreeCAD.

surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe FOSS stuff can do the job. You just need to tweak these 10 config files because it doesn’t come with sensible defaults. Oh, and it’s built against a different version of those libraries. Better downgrade two and upgrade that third one. Actually, just fork and modify the source. Much easier. What were we trying to do again?

What’s flatpak and why in the world would I need to know about it in order to use a cad program? Do you see why people don’t use this stuff?

Just get the dockers image and run it in a vm…
Oh and if you’re a Mac user go fuck your self. We’d never change the keyboard shortcuts, native mouse/trackpad gestures, or use any of the menu conventions that you use in all your native apps.

Ah yes…let’s customize for the Mac’s…checks notes…one mouse button.
Yes. Great use of dev resources.

You mean when people just ask someone else instead of heading to the single best information resource that’s ever existed in human history for an immediate answer?
No. I don’t see why people do that.

I making a point that you seem to be missing. If you have to point out some way to get around a problem that any given user will have with a piece of software, then that’s why your software is not being used. This is the continual problem with the Linux community, they think that everyone wants to learn this stuff. Most people just want their software to work. They don’t want to have to do any sort of googling to figure out why it’s crashing or why it’s running slow or why it doesn’t have this or that feature. Every time someone like you tries to point out that someone can just google something you lose another person that may have been willing to use FOSS in the future. Instead, maybe go try to fix their problem because they sure as hell aren’t going to.

Ten year must have passed from the last time I had problems with library versions
