the difference is that the folder/package structure for other package manager is open and well known
everyone can host their own i.e. apt, pacman or Flatpak repository with little effort
the required folder/package structure for snaps is no longer open and you cannot change the default snap repository either easily
you might be interested in pinchflat or tubearchivest which are made for this task
thats a big hit for non-commercial laser cutting enthusiasts
Between Visicut and Lightburn, the later was miles away even with its quirks and testing all sorts of stuff with boxes.py was a lot of fun
bummer
Once I realize a package is going to take ages to get ready, is it possible to safely intervene to stop the process? I try to avoid it because in general I understand arch-based distros don’t like “partial” installs. But is it safe to stop compiling? No changes have yet been made, right?
AUR helper do that user friendly, just cancel the process with CTRL-C
the package gets installed only at the END of the compilation
compiling manually (no PKGBUILD or AUR helper) will be different, especially if don’t build a package first
things like make install usually don’t and can leave a mess
cool people use zst
compile in tmpfs
thats what systemd sockets are here for
