Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

I’m getting into OpenSUSE Aeon (MicroOS desktop) and it’s been really great with Flatpaks and Distrobox. You should consider that one too :)

OpenSUSE Aeon (MicroOS Desktop)

I had a reasonably good time getting NVIDIA drivers installed. I found the instructions here. I installed the newest drivers using the following command + a reboot. transactional-update -i pkg in nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default nvidia-video-G06 nvidia-gl-G06 nvidia-compute-G06 nvidia-utils-G06 nvidia-compute-utils-G06The OpenSUSE guide doesn’t include compute-utils, which is needed if you want to run nvidia-smi. I haven’t tried installing a full CUDA SDK, so ymmv there.

rainier OP ,

I think part of it is my trying to use VSCode on Wayland… are you launching VSCodium with Wayland?

rainier OP ,

What do you mean by a “window rule”?

rainier ,

Just a quick plug that openSUSE Aeon has Distrobox out of the box and works beautifully!

rainier ,

Yes, VSCode is an electron app, and I use flags to launch it with Wayland. I export VSCode to the host system with the flags attached, so that VSCode automatically launches in Wayland. The command I used: distrobox-export --app code --extra-flags “–enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --ozone-platform-hint=auto”
