From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why can’t the installation create aliases like
flatpak run jellyfin-media-player? And then highlight conflicts during?It would also be nice if it could alias to the normal command, for example, LibreOffice with CLI commands like lowriter or localc.
Did you know you can evoke LibreOffice from the terminal to convert one file format to another? It can do what Pandoc does, but also works on old .doc files. Flatpak's weird CLI behavior makes it difficult to use though.
Ask the devs. I haven't bothered asking so far. There's fp https://github.com/DLopezJr/fp but I don't like workaround if it's easily fixed upstream and it's not like they wouldn't know that it's bullshit. Maybe they can't decide upon a solution. Or are waiting for another important and relevant update.
