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.

Command line: Flatpak

Flatpak is a cross-Linux-distro deployment system commonly used for packaging desktop applications.

Options

Flatpak has a similar interface to Git being composed of subcommands with specific options.

  • -v, --verbose - just print more information

Most of the query-related subcommands (e.g., search, list) has the following options.

  • --columns=${COLUMNS} - print the columns listed; useful for extracting the information you want you can find the related fields from the respective manual page

Examples

Flatpak has a lot of stuff so we'll bring some examples to get started.

Basic usage

Or at least how I think it would be for a starting user.

flatpak search ferdi

flatpak install ferdi

flatpak uninstall ferdi

Package installation interface

fzf is the star here.

flatpak search ${QUERY} --columns=application \
    | fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to install > " \
    | xargs --replace="{}" flatpak install --noninteractive {}

Package uninstallation interface

If there's one for installing packages, there's also one for removing them.

flatpak list ${QUERY} --columns=application \
    | fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to remove > " \
    | xargs --replace="{}" flatpak uninstall --noninteractive {}
