Why not for developers? You can install tools from flatpak or in home directory. My workflow includes toolbox containers. Distrobox is also good option.
Many flatpaks aren't actually maintained by the actual developer nor the normal way the package is normally used. You may have bugs that aren't present in the package that the dev isn't aware of or interested in fixing especially if they support a different channel and the bug relates to sandboxing.
There is also a risk that the person may be malicious from the start, sell out, or simply get malware. Given the nature of the ecosystem a malicious release to a previously safe package could propagate incredibly quickly.
Where there are multiple steps for a package to get from developers machine to yours and each is slow enough for malicious behavior to be noticed each step adds friction and decreases the chance of ultimate success. Where all steps are nearly simultaneous your risk multiplies with each step in which a different person has their hands in it and if any of them are malicious or compromised you are screwed.
Why Nix is great; you can run the IDE from within a Nix-managed dev environment and not have to teach the IDE about it. You can point a .desktop shortcut at it too.
Requires a different way of working with projects though, so understandable if that's not your thing.
don't you then have to keep your IDE config synced across them an open a whole instance for each project? Why even have an OS underneath it at this point?
Sometimes it feels like I'm just being asked to install a real linux distro inside my linux distro so I can actually do things. Here's you nice shiny desktop and app store! Oh you want to do more than browse the web? Better install linux again in a VM.
Maybe i'm just stuck in legacy paradigms, but I kind of like just booting IntelliJ and picking the project i'm on today.
Or sometimes I want to move stuff between projects i'm working on, that's a lot easier if my one IDE instance can hit them all at the same time.
You literally got a research paper proving the contrary handed to you on a silver platter. We know what you were trying to say, the parent comment is calling you out
Oh, so because this one occurrence of disorder, we are now speaking “ovulating people” instead of “ovulating woman”. Not because of some people who don’t know what a woman is?
They choose to remain willfully ignorant, ignoring science and prefer the ways of lies and deception. No amount of logic, facts, or intelligence will sway them.
You can check Banana-Pi R3, which has great support from Mediatek in OpenWRT. You can add another card over PCIE bus if you really need WiFi 6E eg. some mediatek cards with mt7921 chipset will work (built-in wifi 6 with ax mode gives real 1.4Gbps speed, it is working out of the box). This router supports HW flow offloading for NAT + Wireless Ethernet Dispatch for WiFi, this means that at this speed CPU stays at 1% usage. You can also wait for BPi-R4 which will have WiFi 7 support (some patches landed already in Linux).
Just use BananaPi-R3, it is working great with flow offloading, wireless ethernet dispatch (offloading Wi-Fi). It has great support from Mediatek, achieving ~1.4Gbps over Wi-Fi without any CPU usage. It is really great device and not very expensive. Official support for OpenWRT from 23.05.
