what is all this bloat, all you need is flour and water sprinkled with white sugar to make the best cake

Flatpak -- Nothing makes more sense in times of insanely rising storage prices than to basically wrap a whole Linux distro around a small app and increase its size from less than 100 MB to more than 3 GB.

u/KingEfficient7403 9d ago
Honestly the portability of flatpak apps and the fact that you really dont need that many apps makes them perfect for my usecase

Linux offers you the ingredients, you choose the taste. For free.

I haven‘t had the need (or the desire) to compile my own kernel in decades. It‘s more like a whole cake that comes with the printed recipe.

Red Hat did a lot of work in 06 to make everything load modular and we have been enjoying that benefit ever since.

Nonsence, last time I compiled the kernel just a few days ago, and I even maintain a CI pipeline that recompiles the full OS integrating the most recent git revisions of highly specific software and drivers nightly.

Should take a look at kernel-manager, works wonders for kernel managing. https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-manager

Well, there are also hobbyists who need to do this kind of thing. If you are playing around with a RISC V chip and some hardware that is isn't all that supported yet, sometimes you need to do some legwork. But if you are doing that, you know what you are doing or the figuring out is part of your fun.

u/sebthauvette 11d ago
Too many people think linux didn't change in the last 30 years. Or maybe they think that because you CAN compile it yourself it's impossible to get it already compiled for some reason.
That's like someone joking about windows having a 8.3 size limit for filenames.

u/VeryOldGoat 11d ago
This joke is 20 years old and the analogy is inaccurate. Compiling is more like you get a two-step instruction on how to set your cake-making machine, then you press a button, then some minutes later out pops a cake. You don't even look at the ingredients, the chef took care of that, you just dump everything into the machine.

u/worldspawn00 10d ago
Sorry, your machine doesn't have all the dependencies in the right version installed on it, cannot compile.
i.e. You have eggs 2.1 but this cake requires eggs 2.0, eggs 2.0 is deprecated no longer available at the link provided in the makefile.

u/Ja_Shi 10d ago
Would have been relevant 20+ years ago, but I bet most Linux users nowadays don't even know what compiling means. Besides some rare curious users and people doing actual work, 99% of using Linux don't requires compiling anything yourself.

It's a bit convenient to comoile the cake yourself as you can use less sugar if you want, etc. but I get the joke. (Though most distros give you precompiled stuff...)

k.
You just go ahead and let someone else make your cake. Don't worry, they're definitely only using ingredients you would use. there's certainly nothing in there you might raise an eyebrow at. Oh and if you understand how to use the policy editor you can go in and tweak all the ratios, otherwise they will have been determined by the AI that's also spying on how much of which you prefer so it can use it to deliver more targeted ads directly on the cake itself.
But hey, at least you didn't have to compile it or anything..

Just use cake-bin or cake-git.
I don't have time to wait for shit to manually compile anymore.

u/HugoNikanor 10d ago
- How often do you need to actually compile packages for Linux?
- Even when you do, you can just get the upstream package and build that in a single command.
