  Yeah, but that’s less funny ;-)

  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.

        1 button mouses haven’t been a thing for 15 years. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t meant the other button isn’t there and working.

        And more importantly, Mac trackpads are the shit, 2-4 finger gestures, pinch zoom, 2d smooth scrolling and occasionally even rotating is super handy and really intuitive. Especially for 3D CAD on a laptop. They’re so good that a lot of people buy magic pads for desktops.

    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.

        First, YOU missed the point in the original context which is different versions of different libraries may be needed to run software. Flatpak solves that particular problem.

        Second, I don’t owe you or anyone tech support, nor do I care about your satisfaction level with software. Use it or don’t.

        If you’re the kind of helpless person who has to be spoon fed answers, then perhaps Linux or FOSS isn’t for you, and other alternatives exist that have professional support staffs.

        You act as though inputting the same information into a search engine instead of a random comment on a random forum is just A BRIDGE TOO FAR. That’s a pathetic attitude, but plenty of people will still step up to help the helpless. I just don’t have to spend my free time being one of them - though I often have when it’s obvious they’ve already at least tried to find an answer on their own.
