    A real Linux boi would rewrite the program from scratch custom tailored to his personal needs.

        If it makes you feel any better, I’m a total fraud. I’ve used Linux Mint a few times, so now I can say I’m a Linux user.

          Exactly the same with me. Very occasional Mint user. I will never touch Win11, so when Win10 hits EoL I’m screwed if I haven’t learned to deal with the friction of learning Linux.

          I may end up regressing to a PC-less monke until I figure it out. Windows can kiss my primate ass.

        Same (after reading this comment). Flatpak is some new fangled contraption. /s

        A person can’t know everything.

        I’ve been using linux for 10 or 11 years and I also didn’t know flatpak had a repair command, so don’t feel too bad

      Until remember patient exists and legally cannot create another copy. Sure you made one yourself but can never release it to the public.

        Even without that, things can go really bad:

        1. You’re the only developer, then you burn out on the project.
        2. You underbake the UI so much your project becomes infamous for how hard it is to use, complete with an elitist userbase that just screams “git gud” memes at everyone asking for help (most often happens to dev tools).

        The rare occasion, it’ll become like Krita, modern Blender, Audacity, etc.

          Ha you think I can possibly code a UI ? Command line only. Maybe curses if absolutely necessary.

          Still under baked…

        If you aren’t creating custom software to address one-off needs, are you really a Linux user?
