I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that.
  • In defense of this warning, when I first put my application on Flathub, I had it because of how file i/o worked (didn't support XDG portals, so needed home folder access to save properly). It did actually motivate me to get things working with portals to not request the extra permissions and get the green "safe" marker.

    A lot of apps will always be "unsafe" because they do things that requires hardware access, though, so I could see them wanting something more nuanced.

  • Are offline updates going to be the future?
  • If you're on KDE using Discover for updates, the default on a lot of distros is to apply updates on reboot, but you can change this under the Software Update section of the System Settings app. I think it's not a bad idea; I'd rather have a bit of controlled downtime than risk borking my system.

  • Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade
  • In my case I had another WM installed (iceWM, I think it was there by default?) and did the upgrade from there. Unfortunately it does seem that if you try to upgrade from within KDE it will crash part-way (I used zypper dup and it failed).

  • Question about High Refresh Rate Monitors and High Res Monitors on linux
  • On my PC at home I'm running KDE Plasma on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with two monitors: 1440p 240 Hz, 4k 60 Hz. Both are connected via displayport to an RTX2080. It works perfectly fine for me.

    A while back, I used Linux Mint on the same system and it was a headache, where it would sometimes boot to a blank screen and I would have to restart a random number of times before it would work. I never did figure out the underlying cause, it just went away when I changed distros for other reasons....
