  • Problem is that they have a very staunch stance of not allowing closed source software in their repo. And that apply to flatpak repos too. By default only Fedora own Flatpak repo is enabled, with only open-source software. But why repackage OBS, which is already open-source? My guess would be:

    • To use Fedora runtime to minimise install size
    • To change how the software is compiled, like removing any “not free enough” bits from the build

    Why the fuck does it ask for root password to change every little thing? Want to change network password? Root password. Install a flatpak? Root password. Sneeze? You guessed it, root password.

    I’d be using it instead of Fedora if it wasn’t for that shit. I even tried to spin myself a custom OpenSuse ISO…



  • Not a specialist, but I suppose it has to do with having different configurations for different top level folder. In Unix-like systems, every top level folder have a different purpose, and what works for the root may not for /tmp, /swap, etc.

    In those example, no need to snapshot /tmp, as it is a forder whose file are bound to be deleted, and for which being able to restore has no use.
    /swap is pretty similar , and is often formated with a dedicated filesystem.
    /usr often only change during the package manager transactions, so snapshots are often tied to that, while /home may be set to keep daily snapshots.
