From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It won't load places. Heck, won't even load the default city. And when I'm searching for my city it crashes to wait or force close. In case you're wondering, it's the flatpak version on Fedora Workstation.

3.5 GB disk space required? I'll just look out the window, thanks.

GB or MB?

Info at FlatHub -

Flatpak usually require to install huge dependencies. Because it don't use system one.

Well, the size estimate on flathub assumes that you're installing every dependency, which only happens if it's the first app you're installing with this FreeDesktop version, which is rare. I have like 15 flatpak apps installed, all of which had a claimed install of over "1 GB", but the flatpak install directory is only like 2 or 3 GB.

There's just not a great way to predict how big an install will actually be from flathub.

Edit: just to give you an idea, since its only downloading the deltas, most of these "1 GB download size" Flatpak apps are downloading less than 100 MB

GTK4 as well. You always love to see it.

Amazing design. It also appears to be on the AUR as well if anyone is interested: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mousam

I wouldn’t say better, it is all based on preference. And it was already mentioned.

Just installed via Octopi. Nice design

Damn thats beautiful

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can't switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit, the switch just reverts. I do think it looks beautiful and has weather stats that I use when I bike but other apps don't always have (air quality, UV) .

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 5 days ago

Based weather app! Death to Fahrenheit!

[–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Very nice. I haven't even looked, are there any other popular fully featured weather apps native to Linux?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It's pretty decent. I have it pinned already.

[–] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

Maybe I'm missing a setting, but I can't get this to scale with my vertical monitor. Rearranging the layout would be cool too.

Otherwise ya this looks and works well.

[–] macattack@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Very nice UI. Pleasantly surprised (even if I'm staying w/ ansiweather)
