MartiiniSailFishOS use rpm packages .. - Obvioulsy one needs big packages base availability10:49

Martiiniyes, it's not actually a problem, I'm only inventing random shit10:58
x2sI understand your concern and I like to see small and optimized software, too. The problem is: Most don't care. Trying to change that mindset is like trying to move a mountain with a spoon10:58
