Thanks. Flatpak works fine. I wonder why https://plex.app/ lists broken Snap on the downloads page without even showing functional Flatpak as an option? I don’t really care what to use as long as it works. I realize it may be hard to maintain a native package for all OSes so taking a shortcut with…

When I go to https://plex.app it redirects to https://plex.tv . Clicking on Downloads I see [2022-09-08@08:01:28] with no mention of snap at all. I care about what to use because using various different package managers leads to confusion and clutter let alone duplication. Native packages are av…

Oh, I see - you were talking about Plexamp. I’ve never used it and I’m not even sure what it is. Download page for Linux desktop client looks completely different and only lists Snap as an option without any mention of Flatpack or AppImage. [image]

[image] adefaria: Don’t all package managers provide all dependencies? Yes, if the package was rolled for your OS and sometimes only for specific version of your OS. There are a bunch of OSes that can use RPMs for example, but they often don’t specify libraries that one OS will have installed…

My point was that a big part of a package manager’s job is to manage the dependencies of the software being installed. Errors in specifying the proper dependencies notwithstanding. Also, if a package manager has resolved all dependencies but the application fails to work then IMHO it’s the package …

[image] adefaria: It seems to me the solution is not to use your favorite package manager of the day but to work to reduce the number of package managers to 1. However, that would require the cats of Linux to herd and we all know that’s next to impossible. You could similarly ask the Linux co…

Yes - Plexamp Desktop (Ubuntu) dumps core.

Need to switch to flatpak, because… we must use yet another package manager…
