You should look up the genetic fallacy. And using phrases like “hand-craft code” make you look stupid.

If you’re posting from Desktop Linux, your comment utilized at least 10 liberally licensed libraries. And that’s before it got into the wire. GPL packages are a MINORITY, not a majority with exceptions.

There are a lot less GPL projects in your system than you might think. Your core system is already filled with liberally licensed libraries and programs. Case in point, since you talked about rust rewrites, original sudo is not GPL software.

Did you ask an LLM to write a comment full of cliches?

You are in a thread where a user is having a problem because of the push for flatpaks, and because of some distros like Fedora crippling their packages and providing objectively worse alternatives on purpose (because they don’t want to risk RH IBM getting sued). If the user was using some sane community distro like Arch, the user would have never come to realize that such unnecessary issues even exist.

As for flatpak hate specifically, see my ramblings here.

Users are better off using a “freeworld” ffmpeg package, or not using Fedora at all. The cisco decoder is shit.

your life will be better if you stop using both flatpaks and openh264.
