Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Flatpak packages

  • a Flatpak package usually is an application that depends on runtimes which are collections of library
  • while runtimes can be created, there are only a handful of them in the official Flathub remote
  • some of the runtimes include Freedesktop, GNOME, and KDE
  • you can run the runtimes to know the installed packages (e.g., flatpak run org.freedesktop.Sdk//19.08)
  • examples:

    • Minecraft is fairly simple by fetching the compiled binary and its dependencies with minimal compilation needed
    • RawTherapee is slightly complex with various dependencies defined mostly in one file
    • Gnucash has a complex manifest that is composed of multiple dependencies packages as its own module file
