flatpak
Flatpaks don't work on Ubuntu 25.10! 😐
FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:
If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.
Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #QA #bugreporting #LinuxMint #Debian #Ubuntu #LTS #GNOMECalendar
Forget clunky software centers. Bazaar makes finding apps actually fun.

Could not get the excellent @lisamelton's `transcode-video.rb` to work on my machine, because flatpak. My ruby skills are too rusty to enable me to adapt it, but it did spit out a proper set of HandBrakeCLI args for me, so I pasted those that into this:

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes to go through all my ripped TV shows...
Here it is; my write up of about a week's worth of work to better understand Godot Engine, Flatpak, and—in a way—game developers. :D
https://cassidyjames.com/blog/publish-godot-engine-game-flathub-flatpak/
It looks like a long post (and I could probably use an editor for concision!), but I hope it’s an easy read, and useful reference material.
Boost widely! Let’s get more indie games to Flathub!
Oh, and reply publicly here to comment on the post. :)

@simontatham It's been a looong time since I used #putty (I ran it in a #Wine "bottle", these came from #flatpak, I'm using Debian 13 #KDE). Thanks for all your efforts!
To my mind, 98% of the time, people would use putty to log into a #linux box/VPS, like say a #RaspberryPi (Raspberry Pi OS, is #Debian Trixie 13-based). This would be a sensible default assumption, **demographically**.
It took a good 2 hours of struggling, just to get 256 colors to work in Putty! (#Python's textualize library seriously expects 256, or *it can crash* when the Theme is changed). Please let the defaults be sane, so there's no struggle for 256 colors! Please alleviate my nerd rage - I beseech you!
1) Sane TERM env var:
Connection -> Data -> Terminal details -> Terminal-type string -> "putty-256color"
2) Sane default font:
Window -> Appearance -> Font settings -> "Change" button -> adwaita mono 12
3) Sane bolding of text:
Window -> Colors -> General options for color usage -> Indicate bolded text by changing: The font
4) Sane (Linux-terminal-style) Ctrl + Shift + {C,V} (for copy and paste):
Window -> Selection -> Assign copy/paste actions to clipboard -> Ctrl + Shift + (C,V}: System Clipboard

#0ad is possibly one of the most advanced #foss games. It's a multi-platform #RTS historical #game, and there's currently an appimage for #Linux users found at #github (in case #flatpak isn't to your liking).
Plays really smoothly, although it eats my 2015's #Macbook Air's battery (running Linux #Mint) for lunch. We're talking that it has about 30 minutes of overall #gameplay before I need to recharge. CPU utilization is at about 50-60%. @play0ad
Until this is resolved, I'll be using console Vim, which does ship with Bluefin Stable.
I generally prefer gVim because I use the system clipboard a lot, and it's slightly easier with a GUI app. I also use the mouse a bit. That's the kind of Vimmer I am.
I can make it work with console #Vim, and that's probably better for me in the long run.
I would have moved to #Neovim GUI #Neovide, but my .vimrc does not work, and it would be a heavy lift to re-create it.
- For Spotify, turning off GPU acceleration in Flatseal
- For Signal, copy the contents of the
.desktopfile into a new .desktop file in the local directory where those go, and modify theexecline to add--disable-gpu
Note: All of these problems also go away in an X11 session, but that breaks suspend/resume on this iMac, so I'm committed to staying in Wayland.
More details when I do a post on this.

We are making good progress on Desktop support for Pixelix. Today we were able to package the app as Flatpak.
Now we are making the app responsive so it also looks good on larger screens.
Once that is done we will publish Pixelix as Flatpak for Linux and as WebApp.
You can now install #Pixelix on Linux using Flatpak.
https://github.com/ghostbyte-dev/pixelix/releases/tag/v5.2.3-flatpak
We want to submit Pixelix to Flathub soon, in order to make installation even simpler.
Please let us know in the comments what you think and if everything works.
