@CoMaps
I use and like comaps!

[comaps@floss.social]

@aerion you could do the build yourself, the instructions for that are here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/src/branch/main/docs/INSTALL_DESKTOP.md

[livefish@mastodon.ml]

@CoMaps YOOOOOOOOOO

[livefish@mastodon.ml]

@CoMaps Why are preferences placed inside the help menu?

[comaps@floss.social]

@livefish there's already a list of potential improvements here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/3387

It just needs enough people with time and the skills.

Quick question: Why do you avoid Flatpaks?

[n2o@23.social]

@aerion @CoMaps I second that!

[bas_spr@digitalcourage.social]

@Papaexmatrikulatus @aerion I personally avoid flatpaks (snaps not as much) because of limited system access and therefore usability. The two main things I noticed:
- Missing subpixel anti-aliasing led to worse readability of text in e.g. LibreWolf
- Filesystem access: LibreWolf file downloads failed, KiCad could only open the files when directly opened from the file manager, FreeCAD could not save any files at all (fixed in newer versions though)
Can I fix some of those issues with permission management? Maybe, but I tried for a few minutes and then realised one should just install the native version from whatever package manager one uses

@n2o @aerion the build instructions are here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/src/branch/main/docs/INSTALL_DESKTOP.md

@aerion @CoMaps There's also an AUR package of course but it seems to need an update in order to build and run correctly
