@e33io@mastodon.social I still new to Linux, but to me Debian is trustful and I have it installed. But for time being, I keep Mint as first choice, but pondering if going to LMDE. Anyway - Debian, I like Debian too!

@eliasr Tack!
Då tror jag att jag förstår hur du tänker. Jag pillade på texten i det kapitlet i min text mha det du skrev. Hoppas du tycker det blir bättre om än inte som du skulle formulerat dig. (och att det är ok att jag använder denna dialog, jag skrev det bara allmänt längst ner).

@eliasr För övrigt, vad ska man säga om Huawei App store (ihop med Huawei-telefon)!? Jag har inte koll, äldre är ju Google-Android, men inte hängt med hur de kan uppdateras längre. Men nyare är väl Huaweis egna Android, eller något helt eget. Vet inte om något använder Harmony OS. Men Huawei är väl lite av en tredje drake. Men jag har inte koll på om Huawei säljs numera i Sverige.

@eliasr Tack!
Och jag kan revidera, om jag först förstår (och håller med). Att de kan hindra mig tex genom att ta bort en app (särskilt Apple), det förstår jag.
Men du menar att de också har möjlighet att genom att tex ha tillgång till källkoden och logga mina knapptryckningar, skulle kunna logga in i mitt namn. Är det du menar en teknisk möjlighet, om än inte något de gör?
Förklara gärna en gång till (eller ref till någon artikel).

@eliasr @phi1997 Thanks. Yes, I mostly agree in my understanding. It also means that from technical perspective Chrome OS and Android can/shall be categroized as Linux. It is rather from "political" and business reasons they normally are categorized as something else.
Thanks both for your responses!

@katherined I also logged into Twitter yesterday (I have not been there for a few days) and also got the message. I use an authentication app, but I assume I have SMS as alternative, haven't checked yet. Have you seen why they do this? Is it expensive for them to send/manage SMS service? Or simply hoping more with become Twitter Blue subscribers? Maybe best give up to understand why. It's crazy anyway to reduce security.

Det finns alternativ till Apple iOS och Google Android. Jag har gjort en personlig genomgång.

@quirk Beside it's a great classic, it feels as scarily relevant. This song has walked around in my brain many times last weeks! #Nena #99luftballons

Chrome OS and Android are based on the Linux kernel. Hence they are Linux operating system.

But at the same time, "we" often do not count them in same family as CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu touch, Mobian and so on.

But how come? How do we distinguish between Chrome and Android vs the other; how is the separation defined? Or do you disagree with the starting point?

#Linux #ChromeOS #Android

@karlemilnikka @LinusLarsson Så kan det gå när ni använder samma AI-verktyg för att skriva manus! ;-)

E-mail question: As I understand, big picture:
IMAP keeps the e-mails on the server (and depending on how I access, can also be a copy on my machine).
POP moves the e-mail from the server to the storage on the local machine (or wherever I have the storage).
Local folders are e-mails stored locally. So my question, when I move (eg copy and delete) an e-mail from IMAP to a local folder, is that more or less like POP but only affects emails I want to take away from server? Eg in #Thunderbird

@thunderbird Thunderbird is nice an works well today. With Supernova I am confident it will stay nice and work well for days ahead! Cheerio! (By the way, I get the blog post in my Thunderbird RSS-feed. ;-)

@mah @memoryfile Flatseal was new to me. I'll have to check it out!

@memoryfile @mah is a container. It seems as it does not integrate as desirable. Which, as I understood is intentionally as it is a container. Probably it can be fixed with giving special permissions, but that really requires some skills, knowing what I am doing. I have not seem similar issues with deb. But I get the general advantage of easier to make a sw working for all Linux with container-concept (which I think is similar to macOS approach). 2/2

@memoryfile @mah Thanks, I will read later. So, with risk without having read or viewed a few comments... I have seen problems with FlatPak. My few AppImages works better. But I prefer deb. One FlatPak I tried quite a while ago was sooo old, seemed to be abandoned by the person who made the FlatPak (which appeared to have no relation to the original sw developer). Now I have one FlatPak, where there are quite often updates of Free desktop and whatever. But real issue is probably because it 1/2

@visone Thanks, it is similar to my strategy. Currently I have no Snap, one FlatPak and a couple of AppImages. The FlatPak leads to quite many updates of eg Free Desktop. To me, the AppImage is better than FlatPak, but FlatPak has a great upside now when it is very integrated in Mint Update manager (for us who don't always use the terminal...).

Question to more compentent Linux persons:

Except to get a later release of a software, is there any other reason(s) for (on Linux Mint) to install FlatPak, Snap or AppImage instead of a deb from the repository?

#Linux #FlatPak #Snap #AppImage #deb #LinuxMint

Jupp!
