You don’t have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you’re probably doing with GNOME.

It does!

You’re right, you can’t run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you’ll need the web app.

I definitely hope so, so far it’s looking promising!

I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

Well, no. “In the long run” this gets packaged by distributions so you don’t have to compile anything. Right now it’s available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don’t think it’s feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you’ll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about “we” without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.

The OrganicMaps for “regular” Linux is very different from the Android app though. Completely different UI tech (Qt vs native Android widgets) and lacks important things like turn-by-turn navigation.

It translates the Android API to Linux desktop-compatible calls, just like Wine does for Windows apps.

This is not about Newpipe itself but more that fact that this is an Android app ran on desktop Linux, without any containers like Waydroid does. This is like Wine, but for Android apps.

Ubuntu Touch can’t use GTK? Why not?

Well yes, it’s still early days and very much WIP. But the fact it works at all is amazing and shows what can be done with more work.

I didn’t say it wasn’t 😉

Alpine Linux doesn’t have it yet, although as postmarketOS we convinced them of the need and are now hard at work to make it happen.

Note that the actual latest release is 1.2.5. This is just a patch release for the 1.0 series.

Eh, I have used KeepassXC over multiple machines using NextCloud to sync it for years now and have never had any conflict.

Yes

I personally rent the cheapest VPS I could find and put Tailscale on it. My server at home then connects to that Tailscale network and the VPS runs nginx acting as a proxy forwarding everything to the server through Tailscale.

Besides having no annoying networking issues it also has the benefit that I can move houses without having to update A records to have the domain point to the new IP address because the VPS IP ofc remains the same.

The reasons for choosing Musl over glibc are largely unrelated for choosing a service manager. You can want one without the other just fine.

In general (there are exceptions) containers do not use service managers at all. They start 1 command and that’s it.

Email, Matrix (also with friends and family) and sadly also still WhatsApp…
