What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

Options include:

  • Installing them through brew; this is setup, enabled and configured correctly by default on uBlue projects like Aurora, Bazzite and Bluefin.
  • Installing them within a container; be it though Toolbx or Distrobox. This is what Fedora Atomic initially intended (and probably still does).
  • Some users got a lot of mileage from utilizing nix to this effect.
  • If all else fails (or if you outright prefer it this way), you can always layer it through rpm-ostree.

  1. Flatpak, create a shell script to call the flatpak command and pass arguments
  2. If the app doesn’t work well as a flatpak or isn’t packaged, I would use distrobox
  3. If the app doesn’t work well in distrobox, I’d rpm-ostree install it
  4. If I’m feeling fancy, I might look into installing homebrew. But you need to do some workarounds with PATH and homebrew otherwise it can break things; Universal Blue includes these workarounds out of the box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
