Any of linux v1 left in linux v5

The reason I ask I am trying to figure out if there chance , that handfull of companies that have lineage of unix actually have enough source code to not just be unix like. Honestly it would not shock me if non of the unix code is running on mordern hardware last 5 years or so

What are the advantages of Snap over Flatpak?

As a less technical end-user, Flatpaks have always just "worked" better for me than Snaps, and it seems that most of this sub agrees (anytime Snaps come up, they get grilled and support for Flatpak flourishes). Yet, it's clear some people do in fact prefer Snap. What are the benefits of Snap over Flatpak? Baring conspiracies, what concrete benefits does Snap have over Flatpak?

Atheros AR9462 broken on linux 5.6.6

My Bluetooth card [Atheros AR9462](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012JQVUX8/) stopped working on my archlinux install, someone on r/archlinux suggested i try downgrading as the card used to work just fine before i reinstalled.
I installed kernel 4.20 and rebooted. the card now works without issue.

I dont know where to post this issue so i trust someone here can either a) forward this to the proper area, or b) tell me how to do it myself... either is fine by me, i want to know where to post these issues so that it can get fixed

Built a tagging small media viewer, try it out

Originally started as an experiment to test whether xattrs can serve as a viable replacement for sqlite as a container of tagging meta-data, this project has developed into a fairly serviceable small media browser and has became a tool I use to browse my vast collection of stock photos, memes, and wallpapers.

Was hoping to see what folks here thought of it. Here's its most notable aspects:

* with xattrs, tags stays with the files even if moved/renamed
* supports all popular animated image formats (gifs, webms, etc)
* will happily work with large collections containing tens of thousands of files without perf issues
* supports loading thumbnails that conform to the freedesktop thumbnailer draft standard (dbus support is WIP)
* supports mapping files to custom generated thumbnails including animated ones
* supports sorting files by numeric & delimited names
* fairly easy to customize

[This picture is from 0.0.2 so some elements has since improved](https://i.redd.it/zj6gzp7uiyu41.gif)

The long term vision for this project is to make it highly extensible (basically do for small media browsing what vscode did for programming). Also a secondary goal, via an extension, make it the UI of my other project [fs-curator](https://github.com/unreadablewxy/fs-curator).

Project Github: [https://github.com/unreadablewxy/fs-viewer/releases/tag/0.0.3](https://github.com/unreadablewxy/fs-viewer/releases/tag/0.0.3)

It also works with windows if that's important to anyone. Through some samba configs, can expose tags via alt-streams (which this program also supports).

Feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, patches all appreciated.
