Ubuntu Flavors Agree to Stop Using Flatpak

... oh.
Honestly I avoid flatpak/snap/etc like the plague. Every time I've used them, some sort of device or file can't be accessed, or something isn't working. If I need anything that isn't covered by apt repositories, I just compile from source now, and have my own system for detecting updates which works pretty well.

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
I have a nice little script for managing "MISC" packages: Manually Installed or Source Compiled.
https://github.com/tpapastylianou/misc-updater
In full honesty, I'm as proud of the "MISC" acronym as of the script itself. I'm secretly hoping the acronym catches on for referring to any stuff outside the control of a system's standard package management.

Beginner's Guide to Installing from Source (2015)
What do people use to check for updates when it comes to programs they installed manually / compiled from source instead of relying on their distro's repositories?
I made this for myself for this purpose: https://github.com/tpapastylianou/misc-updater
(pretty chuffed about the MISC acronym btw :p )

A Way to Manage Dotfiles
Often enough, when I see something like this, the real value isn't the software itself, but the idea that perhaps the issue it addresses is be worth thinking about a bit more. The solution itself may be trivial, but have a large impact.
E.g. I have created [0] the simplest of scripts for managing updates for manually-installed / source-compiled applications (something I've dubbed "misc", very proud of this backronym :p).
The script itself is extremely simple (just a list of greps over latest release announcement urls), but it has solved a big problem for me, of helping me keep such "misc" items seamlessly up-to-date.
