I always had problems with Flatpak apps. External disk access, drag-and-drop, D-Bus access… almost everything eventually turns into “install Flatseal and manually override permissions.” Sometimes even that is not enough and you end up manually mounting folders or changing permissions manually. Terminal access is awkward because instead of launching apps normally, you need to remember long flatpak run com.organization... commands and cli parameters won't work, file paths behave inconsistently and looking like file:///run/user/1000/doc/a5h42f, and apps randomly cannot access folders they obviously should. Broken desktop integration, weird filesystem isolation, after years on Linux I honestly feel like if an application already has a native .deb package, most developers do not really check whether everything fully works on the Flatpak version before releasing it. People usually criticize about dependencies being large but I don't even care if the app manage to work. Flatpak sounds great in theory, but in daily Linux usage it often creates more friction than convenience for me.

Even windows 98 had this drop feature.

After rescaling an image by right clicking an selecting a percentage the transparancy breaks. I s there a solution without using 3rd party websites?

 I use this logo for my webapp menu/dock icon. And the problem is that I don't want to resize the whole image, I want to decrease the size of the logo or somehow add a transparent margin so that on dock it's not going to look so big. So if I resize the all image without selecting an area it's working fine. But not when I select an area.

After the discovery of CVE-2026-31431, which allows attackers to bypass the sudo password using a small Python script and gain root access, many Ubuntu servers have gone offline, leaving numerous systems unable to receive critical updates. This situation significantly increases the risk of widespread exploitation, as unpatched servers remain vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks.

When I create a new annotation text, I can change the color. But if I want to change the color of a previous annotation the option is disabled. How can I fix that?

(I have the same problem for both deb/apt and snap Okular)

Kind of wild that extensions like Dash to Dock and Dash to Panel have racked up 15M+ downloads combined, yet none of that functionality is part of GNOME itself — not the dock behavior, not the defaults, not even a built-in extension manager.
