cause they’re honestly pretty shit and known to be unreliable.
Can you elaborate here? I’ve had very few issues with Flatpaks and the documentation is pretty thorough. I’m curious what wider issues it has to make the whole ecosystem “pretty shit” and unreliable.
Most AI models need at least 24 but preferably 32.
Where are you getting this information from? Most models that are less than 16B params will run just fine with less than 24 GB of VRAM. This github discussion thread for open-webui (a frontend for Ollama) has a decent reference for VRAM requirements.
Nah. When I’m using Zed it’s typically for Elixir/Erlang and I’m usually run debugging tools outside of Zed in a separate shell. When I’m using iex and/or observer I like to use a full screen terminal on a separate workspace/tab than the editor itself
Depends on what device I’m using. On my tower(s), I’m typically reaching for Rider, Pycharm, or Zed. On my laptop(s) it’s pretty much always Helix or Zed. On servers it’s vim 100% baby. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable working with theses tools, so I haven’t really needed to look into alternatives at all.
You should give Squadron 42 a shot on one of their Free Weekends. It’s pretty close to Elite as far as flight mechanics and maneuvering goes and a lot more forgiving about getting the parts you want in your ship. It’s pretty jank on foot though. Not sure if that’s a dealbreaker.
Sort of surprised Elite Dangerous never made your list. It seems like it would be right up your alley! I’ve invested thousands of hours in Elite Dangerous and several thousands hours across the entire Elite franchise.
I’ve had lots of fun with more recent space games, but to this day Star Citizen’s Squadron 42 is the closest I’ve seen any game come to Elite’s level of flight control and maneuvering. I would say it’s currently held down by how they try to manage additional content and flushing out existing content. Endgame content isn’t as exhilarating as I’d hoped, but there’s still plenty to do in the game to keep you busy for hundreds if not thousands of hours.
Elite certainly isn’t without it’s faults and I’d be pleased to see more contenders in this space (ha!), but I also recognize that space sandbox games are very difficult to get right.
I don’t believe this to be the case with Flathub, only the Fedora repo. I’m asking about the wider flatpak ecosystem, not the fedora-specific repo or how it’s setup.
I’d agree that seems like a needless hoop at the very least, but my concern is more to do with the growing trend to shit on Flatpaks as an ecosystem, not just this particular instance of Fedora head-assery.
I think it’s decent software and has really solid use-cases, far from unreliable shit at least in my own anecdotal experience. But my experience is limited, which was why I asked the OP to elaborate on actual flaws they see with the Flatpak ecosystem.
