I did a new install of Rawhide a few days ago, and I just assumed that the Firefox version was the most
recent or within a few weeks of the most recent.
I was pondering the idea of playing with Gnome Boxes, and decided I would try to download an iso of
some other distro. When I logged on to Manjaro website, it immediately gave me a large dialogue box that said
"your browser Version 78 is out of date."
So why could Fedora not tell me that ?
Anyways, I removed version 78 ( the rpm version ) and installed the flatpak version, which is 80.
I am not up to date on the general consensus of using flatpaks in September of 2020. I have no problem with flatpaks.
Now I have to set up all my web-stuff settings again.
Why would anybody want to use the rpm version of Firefox ? Limited resources on their computer ??
While on the subject of flatpaks, what are some of the upcoming flatpak apps to keep an eye out for ?
What are flatpaks are way above their rpm counterparts in development ?
Are future versions of Fedora ( 34, 35, etc. ) going to default to the flatpak version of Firefox ?
My install of Rawhide has about 20 man-hours of usage, with no problems. I hope to do an install
of 33 in a month or two.
On an unrelated topic,
the fans on my Radeon 5500XT, do not turn on except when booting up, but I have not
tried to play a video game yet.
Cheers,
David Locklear
