That’s why we got dem tar and dnf
On Fedora, sure. Not Bazzite, on Bazzite you’d need distrobox to use it - users barely understand what Linux is, good luck with distrobox instructions.

I’ve also been able to find 99% of what I need through discover.
If what you need is Discord and Chrome, sure.
When you need specific drivers things change dramatically. And some packages technically exist as Flatpaks, but with permission issues that no regular user is ever fixing
2·2 hours agoI’d say their software limitations are the reason they failed, not the keyboard. In fact, people really liked the final BlackBerry devices with Android and a keyboard, but at that point the company was already gone.
But while iPhones were at the boom of Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, iBeer and using Skype, and Google’s Android looked like ass but already had ad-infested versions of the same titles, BlackBerry had… corporate messaging? A really robust email app, I guess?
I hate to go against the flow here, but I absolutely do not recommend Bazzite as a desktop OS. Surely as a living room or handheld PC thing, but not your main OS.
Immutable distros create a lot of pain when you need a package outside of the also problematic Flatpak world, and whilst there are ways to install them on Bazzite, regular users with no Linux knowledge would scream.

There was a “ultra private” messaging app that was actually created by a US state agency to catch the shady people who would desire to use an app promising absolute privacy. Operation “Trojan Shield”.
The FBI created a company called ANOM and sold a “de-Googled ultra private smartphone” and a messaging app that “encrypts everything” when actually the device and the app logged the absolute shit out of the users, catching all sorts of criminal activity.
I have no proof, but I do have a small list of companies I actually suspect of pulling a similar stunt… perhaps not necessarily attached to the FBI or any other agency, but something about their marketing and business model screams “fishing for people who have something to hide”
I rooted my LG C1 and blocked system updates. I use a homebrew channel to download external packages.
Good luck pushing this crapware on me.

I’m fairly convinced posts like this are sponsored by these platforms to trick young women into joining, as they need an endless supply of new “content” when people get bored of the popular models. That fetish site “Feet Finder” did that a lot, they sponsored tens of thousands of TikTok creators to pretend they got rich selling their feet pictures, when in reality, the people joining the platform were never paid.

People will say some absurd statement like this one and then pretend to be confused when Linux adoption fails to grow faster.
