#Fingwit is the missing #fingerprint #authentication tool for #Linux. It enhances security by intelligently managing when it should be used.
It integrates with the fprintd daemon and a dynamic PAM module to prevent login issues.
Set to be included in #LinuxMint 22.2, it enables authentication for login screens, sudo commands, and admin tasks.
The tool is Free #opensource software under the GPLv3+ license and provides an #AppImage for easy installation.
Oh boy ...
I switched @novelwriter to Qt6 on the recent 2.7 release, and that has caused sooo many problems with the AppImage.
I spent 7-8 hours yesterday trying to fix things, but AppImages are horrible to work with when you can't just use one of the standard tools that does everything for you.
... and now I hate AppImages.

I understand that the #SteamDeck being more a game console and less a PC is one of the best hardware forms to target with immutable filesystems, and I dig that. But at the same time I wish I could just install software through #pacman like normal #Arch . #Flatpak and #AppImage don't yet have all the critical software (especially terminal software) that I need to be fully productive, and the Steam Deck doesn't make it easy to install other types of software packaging.

They are unelegant und thus culturally ignorant.
I'm afraid those blobs have to leave.
Good bye, blobs.
Am I the only one who is somewhat annoyed (to put it friendly), how #AppImage, #Flatpak, #Snap... have destroyed the old and cozy approach of installing apps via your distributions #packagemanager?
This all feels just as bad as Windows now... A huge collection of totally messy, barely integrated, random chaos.
No wonder people don't understand anymore why they should switch.

With the first release of OpenCloud Desktop App, the question arises: How do we deliver the app on Linux in the future?
Our aim is to make it available as simply as possible with as little maintenance as possible. Both cooperation with the package maintainers and our own, flexible provisioning play a role here.

Mit der ersten Veröffentlichung von OpenCloud Desktop App stellt sich die Frage: Wie liefern wir die App unter Linux künftig aus?
Unser Ziel ist eine möglichst einfache, wartungsarme Verfügbarkeit. Dabei spielt sowohl die Zusammenarbeit mit den Paket-Maintainern als auch eine eigene, flexible Bereitstellung eine Rolle.

Da sitzt man nichts ahnend im Zug, daddelt ein wenig auf seinem ubuntu #Linux Laptop, und der junge Mann nebenan sagt, dass er von Windows frustriert sei, ubuntu schon ausprobiert habe, aber noch Fragen hätte, wie man Programme installiert.
Tja, steigt man dann ab in das RabbitHole, #deb, #Flatpack, #Snap, #AppImage oder wie?
Hey, has anyone had problems with packaging libadwaita in an AppImage (something something OPENSSL_3.2.0 not found, because /lib/libcurl.so can't find it). Asking for a friend.
Anyone else experiencing issues running Appimage apps on @ubuntu 25.04? Installing libfuse2t64 doesn't fix the issue like in 24.04.
Testing #AppImageLauncher, an #appimage helper for #Linux (I'm on #Manjaro #XFCE) ...
Okay, so hear me out...
Auto updating mechanism made by the #FreeDesktop org for #AppImage apps... no, srsly.
Think of every electron app out there that automatically updates itself. You do know how that's done, right?
Each of these apps have to check a website for a file - and a hash. It then "confirms" that this package is the latest and greatest version of App - your favourite app.
But now you've suddenly got like 10 different updaters, one of which can be an attack vector... yes.
