From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare? (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to package and publish a tool I've been working on, but for the life of me, I'm struggling with Flatpak.

It's a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I'm using. (javascriptcore, etc...)

To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I'm running in circles.

Welp.

Well, I would agree in general but also anything involving khtml/webkit/blink and its various other forks is a nightmare to compile.

Then let's ship your PC, that's how containers work, right?

Yeah I think you need a dock though, or if you don’t have the money to buy a dock, I think you can rent one of those POD containers. Still trying to figure out how to connect to this guy’s computer though, they locked it and I don’t know where to DL the libs for it

I think the key for it is stored in that hashish corporation's vault.
