Offering to hang out once in a while is nice. Without going into fancy considerations, it’s nice

Do be careful when suggesting specific activities, it can feel like you’re telling them what to be (and cause reactance). If you had parents doing it to you, you know the issue

I don’t think the “judging” part matters. They are likely to be unhappy at some point in the future, and if you happen to be proposing something different at that time, they might be more interested. This doesn’t need to be about judgement or respect, having a way into another life should always be desirable (as long as you’re not being an asshole)

note that I am basing this on how I believe I would feel if I was them, and do not have any experience as your “role” here

At least Fedora and Elementary have distro-made repos. They use them to package their apps for all distro versions without having to rely on Flathub infra and admins

It should. Install it to find out, you can keep both Bazaar and Discover while you make up your mind

I would have guessed this is the book of “there were trees so obviously I cut them down and started minin’ but there were a bunch of ugly locals that tried to stop me it was kind of a mess - long story short I shot them then I went to their homes and shot their families”

This fails to convey how painfully tedious the communication is between the foundation and the community. At this point it feels like the tension between high executives and an union, with the executives having the deep conviction that they are good and that the union will magically recognize it, if only they could perpetually delay every one of their demands.

If you already have the correct version of the flatpak installed, you can try flatpak build-bundle.

flatpak build-bundle LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION is the path of the repo on disk. Run flatpak info -l org.kde.arianna, and copy the part before /app
• FILENAME is the output file name, preferably .flatpak. Eg: arianna.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the app, here org.kde.arianna

The generated file can be installed with a double-click, or with flatpak install <file>

This is the equivalent of an Android .apk. It contains the app but depends on a runtime. If you want to install it in a few years, odds are the runtime will no longer be available. You can backup the runtime the same way with the --runtime option.

flatpak build-bundle --runtime LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION same as earlier
• FILENAME eg arianna-runtime.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the runtime, which you can get with flatpak info --show-runtime org.kde.arianna

This takes a while, for some reason. Maybe it’s compressing stuff?

The runtime is installed the same way as the app: double click or flatpak install.

Note: I only did this once, and not specifically on Arianna. Hope it works.
