You could try using GreenWithEnvy, I think it uses a different fan curve or at least allows you to change it afaik:

Eh, that's just because of Flatpak's conventions, plus even if volunteers get an app onto Flathub initially the app developers can take over the maintenance if they wish afterwards, so changing the app ID then would just unnecessarily break things.
> But try and install steam, some games and the dream will break.
How long has it been since you last tried? With the flatpak it takes literally as long as the download. Yes, it runs natively, steam has had native Linux support for almost a decade now.
Steam also has built-in virtualization through proton now, so you don't even need to fiddle with wine if you want to run Windows games.
Gaming is not an excuse to run Windows any longer.
Yes, the Endless App Center includes apps available in Flathub out of the box. You can get Xiphos for a variety of biblical translations and the Othman Quran program there. They both have offline functionality, although I personally find Xiphos a bit difficult to use.
If people wanted to add other apps to Flathub that cover other religious texts we'd welcome that.
Whats your end-goal? If you're looking to just test/try out a distro in a VM, give gnome boxes [0] a try, super simple, not a lot of options, but gets the job done for simple cases.

all of this is useless when you still can't run any game you want, gaming is still an excuse for windows and will be for a long time

Like a client to Spotify or Spotify itself? The latter is available on Flathub at https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.spotify.Client. I have this but am trying out https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/dev.alextren.Spot
If this is really urgent, try using the flatpak version:

If not, it's probably gonna be fixed in a next update, I've read people having similar issues with web-based apps since the last Tumbleweed update: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/pu158h/had\_a\_small\_panic\_feeling\_today\_during\_the\_big/
I like Vorta.
The flatpack works amazingly.

I'm not 100% sure if it needs sudo dnf install borgbackup or not. The .rpm did, but it wasn't auto starting properly on plasma as the .rpm verison for me personally.
It also can compress the archives as well, and auto delete older archives you don't need.
This won't let you change voltages but you can do some overclocking and set up custom fan curves: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.leinardi.gwe
I wouldn't use it. I think if you want to use Chromium in Debian, the safest option is Flatpak. It's at version 94:
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium
Or if you prefer
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium
I installed the flatpak version listed here, and there is by default no search engine, with Google not included at all (though you can probably add it manually)
Python2 is EOL and no longer supported from the python project. Therefore it was removed from Fedora.
If you Need something to download YouTube videos, here you go:
The Linux Mint 20 is based on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) and this ppa probably doesn't was updated.
You can download the flatpak version of jdownloader https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.jdownloader.JDownloader
Can you please verify that you are trying to open the official Tutanota desktop client from this page?
My guess is that you have installed the Flatpak version which is indeed outdated and not maintained anymore.
Something like Flatpak - more or less desktop-focused containers - seems like a better fit than Docker. That said Emacs is core enough to my workflow I think it's worth installing natively. There's also the option of running Emacs on one box and using tramp-mode to access others.
I just tried installing geforcenow-electron through flathub again, but this time I launched it with the flags posted somewhere here:
flatpak run io.github.hmlendea.geforcenow-electron --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --use-gl=egl
Doing this, I don't see any weird stuttering, and the input lag is gone.
Jetbrains Toolbox is probably the easiest way of installing any Jetbrains IDE on linux distros. I've used for years now even throughout my distrohopping phase. Works on all mainstream distros.
Also Zoom has native binaries for debian and red hat based distros. Otherwise, Zoom provides a flatpak as well (though I'm sure you're aware of this by now).
Hope this helps :)
You can use most apt commands, just fine, with the exception of apt upgrade.
I use it all the time, especially when I have to update my Neon Unstable by using chroot to update the packages (like just now because of startup/permission & Wayland issues).
It's also helpful when you need to fix any packages that didn't install right, by running apt install -f, or if I need to compile from source by running apt source --compile. I'm not that well-versed with pkcon so I'm just using it for basic updating packages.
Skype's in the Snap store and Flathub, which are more preferable, IMO.
You could do an end run by installing the flatpak version here: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects If you don't already have flatpak support there is a link to directions to install, then just follow the two remaining steps to get it running. It is version 4.8.5. As to the specific problem you are running into, I'm guessing that one of the versions you have wasn't made specifically for your distro/version. If possible you could try to uninstall both versions and then try to install just the version you want. If it were me I would try to do that before going the flatpak route. Hope it works out for you.
Using t-rex miner on Fedora 33, I've been able to mine ETH at a constant 45MH/s on my MSI GeForce RTX2070 Gaming Super. Using the FlatPak app GreenWithEnvy ( https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.leinardi.gwe ), I have tuned my RTX2070 with the following :
Power Limit : 117 W
GPU Offset : -100MHz
Mem Offset : +1270Mhz
GPU Temp : 50C
Fan Speed : 65%
I've found if I turn my monitor off, I gain about 0.3MH/s . Hope this helps.
You can use GNOME dynamic wallpaper for that.
The default GNOME wallpaper is here for reference: /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-timed.xml
This app can help you: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.maoschanz.DynamicWallpaperEditor
I could make a build using RenPy 6.99 also try the flatpak version on Flathub. Flathub downloads the game from the official site and drop in replaces renpy with 6.99

I use added flatpak openjdk to my native environment:
[ ]$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/sysroot/ostree/deploy/fedora/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk11/x86_64/20.08/active/files/jvm/openjdk-11
For flatpak apps, the SDKs are loaded inside /usr/lib/sdk. For some reason using /usr/lib/sdk/openjdk11 as JAVA_HOME does not work. So I am using the first path with /sysroot. This may be because I made a mistake somewhere..
However, the path with /sysroot works fine with me for me so I do not have to change anything.
For vscode flatpak version, you can override PATH env and JAVA_HOME with the following command:
[ ]$ flatpak override --env=PATH=<default-path>:<jdk-bin-path> --env=JAVA_HOME=<jdk-home> com.visualstudio.code
You may like using flatseal to set environment variables.
>> installed Stremio app. It didn't launch so I applied some library codes and Stremio started to work very well.
you may want to show what 'library codes' you did... the bash history command may be of use.
a quick googling of stremio install guides does not show anything really unusual to me.
it might be easier to use the caliber flatpak version, which is updated more often and should include all dependencies, so the system libraries won't affect the flatpak version. it's also a bit newer than the release in the ubuntu repositories.

(Drawing from memory)
I think last I read Glimpse is attempting a re-write or the emergence of a New App or New UX for their next release.
(This could take a VERY long time or obviously never materialize at all)
They did build some tooling over on Github to make it easier to fork GIMP and replace references to "gimp" "GIMP" "GNU Image Manipulation....", etc... in the code too.
Here's a flathub link
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.glimpse_editor.Glimpse
Although arguably GIMP 2.99 broken GTK 3 UX is better because Glimpse is based on 2.10.x with the old shitty UI.
Awesome. To be honest, I don't recommend to do too much tweaking.
elementary isn't really designed for any kind of heavy customization and tweaking, and fiddling with themes and icons will often break ui elements or end up looking nasty as well as generally screw with the whole aesthetic of the desktop. You can do it if you like, but I suggest don't go that route and embrace the defaults... the elementary team and app developers put a whole ton of care and effort into how the desktop and curated apps look and function.
There are a few things I suggest you do though
1) Install Eddy from the AppCenter so you can install .deb files from the internet.
2) Get additional apps from https://www.flathub.org . All you should have to do is download the flatpakref file for the app you want and try opening it. It will install that app and add all the other apps from Flathub to the AppCenter so you don't have to return to the website if you don't want to.
3) The one tweak I recommend is to add app indicators. You should be able to find a guide for that somewhere online. This way if you use apps that use this legacy feature you can actually access its menu. (ex. Steam, Discord, Dropbox, etc.)
Otherwise, enjoy your new desktop. :D
You'll want this for nvidia GPU
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.leinardi.gwe
For AMD I believe you need the radeontop package. I dont have an amd card so cannot confirm.
Sorry for the initial post I had read that as CPU not GPU...
You might want to try the Flatpak version of Discord. Flatpaks come with everything they need all in one package so it should work the same on all systems. Dragging and dropping files to send things in a chat don't always work quite right but generally it seems to work fine.
Well what does your $PATH variable look like? If you type echo $PATH into the terminal, do you see /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin anywhere in the output?
If you don't try this and test it again
PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin then
export PATH
Try running your snap commands again. They should work as you added them to your PATH environment variable. If it works after that, use a text editor vim nano emacs vi whatever KDE's GUI text editor is and add the export line to the end of your ~.bashrc file.
export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin
I've only used snap for my Nextcloud server, but why did you choose it over Flatpak? Flatpak is installed by default on Fedora and does basically the same thing. Check the Flatpak link I provided and see if that helps you accomplish what you are trying to do and use it instead of snap... unless you really need snap.
As for Minecraft, I would need to see your .desktop file, something is probably messed up and that's why you aren't seeing it in the application menu.
Consider installing Libresprite, a free as in freedom, fork of Aseprite from https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.libresprite.LibreSprite using Flatpak. There is a video about Libresprite at https://youtu.be/P2UqItBJii0.
There is a flatpak version mantained by me at [flathub](https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge) that is updated (with less than one day delay).
Thank you. Also, please let me know if the Flatpak image in Flathub (https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.openshot.OpenShot) has official support or not.
Some recommendations: There are two things that one should do after installing fedora, enabling the rpm-fusion and Flathub repositories. See my guide. You should also install ffmpeg-libs as listed there.
When testing apps, try to do it from Flathub since they won't leave any footprint in your machine.
Things to test: - VLC (media player) - Fragments (Torrents) - Lutris (games, this is only at fedora repositories and flathub-beta, the later is recommended but it might be harder to set up depending on your specs) - Password Safe (password manager)
I don't use it, but the instructions they provide worked (java -jar RuneLite.jar); in that case you just download a non-headless Java, download the RL client .jar from their site, and run it like that.
Alternatively, there's a Flatpak for it too.
Go to flathub: https://www.flathub.org/home click on quick setup. After, click on chrome OS icon, follow steps. After, search for steam on flathub, follow step. Have fun.
There is also https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge which might or might not work depending if the developers randomly decided to change the binary in their fixed link screwing any sha256 check.
Maybe it is not what you are looking for, but there is also a flatpak distribution of protonmail-bridge at https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge. Caveats: - If ProtonMail decides to randomly change their binnary the sha256sum will fail at install, this happens very often. - ProtonMail for some reason deletes from their server any version which is not the latest, this will also cause an error (at install) if the flatpak is not updated.
You could try the flatpak one
https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge
We are in 1.2.0, thats why.
Hey, the freedesktop SDK (recommended base runtime for LTS flatpaks like Steam) is not going to be dropping 32-bit support anytime soon.
Steam is already packaged: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.Steam
Well if it makes you feel better. Keep in mind that most distrobutions desktop versions have a gui front end for their package managers. It will remind you of the app store. Funny thing, linux had app stores before app stores. Where you think the idea came from ;D
Anyway you have one more thing that will help you find the software you need. Most distributions will have everything you could possibly need to do whatever you want. You just have to be willing to switch to open source versions of things you normally use. Like.. Libreoffice instead of Microsoft Office, gimp instead of photoshop, blender instead of sony vegas, ect.
Anyway the other relatively new place to get software is flatpak. Flatpak uses something like https://www.flathub.org/home to install software. They use containers to install the software across multiple distros. So to make it easy to understand you can install flatpaks on arch, ubuntu, fedora, whatever you can install flatpak on.
sudo apt purge snapd seems to do the trick for me.
I still use flatpak, but it doesn't auto update on me and applications start up immediately. It also doesn't do a bunch of mounts. It also has vscode.
