  • There are both x64 and ARM64 RPM and Debian packages available for this closed-source Linux app.

    BTW: out of curiosity, I just went to chatgpt.com and asked:

    briefly, what’s the recommended way to distribute a desktop app on linux?

    The answer wasn’t brief (at least for my definition of “brief”: it started with a bullet list of all possible packagings) but it ended with:

    If you want one recommendation: ship Flatpak + AppImage. Flatpak for normal installation/updates, AppImage as the portable fallback.




  • Frankly, I don’t see where the whole big deal of this story is.

    People who don’t like codeberg can just go somewhere else (even back to github) and/or found/support an alternative that better suits their needs.

    It’s not like the world needs to have one git hosting service to rule them all, it’s not like there must be free ones (entitled much?), and it’s not like whatever service happens to be the new “cool” one must be neutral as to what they host.

    BTW, although to my knowledge their policy is not enforced super-strictly, codeberg has never been neutral in this regard — see 1 and 2
