minus-squarelnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)linkfedilinkEnglish32•2 months agoFunny thing, it repacks a deb package. See manifest.
minus-squaretrevorlinkfedilinkEnglish28•2 months agoIs the a downside to repacking the deb package? They’re basically just zip files of the same binary you’d run on most other Linux distros.
minus-squarelnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)linkfedilinkEnglish17•2 months agoI don’t say that. Rather it’s just a trivia.
minus-squaretrevorlinkfedilinkEnglish12•2 months agoTotally fair. I’m curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoWhy on Flathub it says that it “uses legacy windowing system”, but there is granted permission to use Wayland socket in manifest?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•2 months agoProbably because there’s also permission to use the X11 socket.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoNo, its certainly not because of that. Many apps have both permissions simultaneously and theres no warning. In this case X11 is used as a fallback if wayland is not used.

Because it will always use X11 unless you tell it not to.
