![]() Seriously thanks so much mw / brent and the others for the detailed info and explanations and even instructions that is so awesome of you. I had Solus 4.2 on a USB stashed away and it saved my PC so I'm here to stay. In descending order of significance (i.e. Solus was always my fallback option if Arch broke, which I kinda expected it to. A lightweight approach to removing Google web service dependency. On arch I simply used "yay" command and that handled it all at once- if only there was such a command on Solus to upgrade everything but I'm still learning. I'll take the advice to stick with the trinity only (eopkg primarily & flatpak/snap) and update them once a week or so. Ungoogled Chromium is is essentially a drop-in replacement for Chromium sans dependency on Google web services. Installed flatpak and installed ungoogled there and this version works fine. Apparently the way around it is to use the flatpak version. I should have probably titled this post "are there other package managers besides software manager available for solus" it would have saved lots of meandering on my end □įor some reason ungoogled from Snapstore gave me issues, something to do with no-sandbox flags causing bugs and opening new instances each time. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction (& apologies for the naivety □) Since there are so many of them, there is always a lot to choose from. I'll stick with Software Center & Snap Store. Updated on MaChromium browsers take a larger cut of the market share in the internet space. But honestly finding out Snap Store has its own GUI to handle such things resolves my concerns. I exclusively used yay via terminal to install and update everything, in an effort to keep it stable. I'm here from a broken Arch install after 2 months (6/7/21 - 8/9/21 RIP). But I think I'll go with Ungoogled considering development seems much quieter on Libre's side, I can hardly find people talking about or using it. ![]() No autoupdates for either on Windows/Mac, for some reason. Installing other extensions (with CWS) Method 2 1. Honestly I'm probably the last person who needs such a fortressy browser like Librewolf or Ungoogled but I like the peace-of-mind they provide, and the superficial idea that it makes me feel like I'm getting the most out of my Linux installation. Ungoogled and Heroic (Epic) Launcher are the only apps I need that aren't in the main repos. I was under the impression the Snap/flatpak methods were just ways to do a quick local install of app packages, I assumed I would have to constantly be checking manually for updates myself.
