Discussing How to remove snapd and flatpak … should you wish to

For efficiency, I am running dual monitor mode now. There is no way I could go back to using a single monitor, you know how difficult it is, to use the forum, and watch movies the same time with a single screen?

Yeah, I am not sacrificing my ability to do dual monitor, just cause I may not like POP OS's obsession with using FLATPAK's. I only had one issue with FLATPAK due to sandboxing. The problem was easily resolved, for which I posted a tutorial for as well.

Well l am not a multitasker and I promised my youngest when I retired they could have my second monitor which initially I only needed for stupid Outlook365 for work until I figured out how to configure my work e-mail myself in Evolution!
That said I did need to use it when I had 2 applications open, namely Okular on the right monitor and BrailleBlaster on the left monitor as I would copy and paste text from a pdf in Okular directly into BrailleBlaster on the left screen. But I only might do the occasional item for that on a voluntary basis.
If I did use 2 monitors I know that I don't have any such issues in respect of flatpaks and snap packages in Devuan!

I just had to go through all this, to set this up for a family member. With Windows, all you have to do is plug in your formatted external drive, go in Steam, and tell it to use the external drive for your games library. But on Linux, its a lot harder. First and formost, when you buy a hard drive, it never comes preformatted f…

Yes, it is, as long as you are not relying on any Flatpak packages.
