Snaps I agree just because there is no open source snap store and it’s impossible to set up a 3rd party store.
Flatpaks though? They let people install packages with weird / rare / not available requirements on any distro. All open source with a really nice sandbox. I think flatpaks are great.
Just as complicit as for name verification. 🤷♀️
Good news is that systemd is not incorporating age verification just like they are not incorporating name verification.
Both name and birth date are just userdb fields with no verification at all.
Small note. If you’re building a PC for Linux avoid Nvidia GPUs. AMD and Intel GPUs have native built in drivers. Avoiding the fragility of babysitting Nvidia proprietary drivers really makes the experience better.
Strong recommend for Seafile. It’s way faster than nextcloud, it has a good web ui, and nice clients on all platforms.
I can not express how much faster than nextcloud it is.
Obviously open source too.
