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.

USB Command line voltage measurement suggestion

Can anyone suggest a way for me to have some sort of USB dongle that I can use to connect to a batter to measure the voltage and/or amperage of the battery? I want to measure my solar panel backup batteries and my current amperage consumption.

MacBook Pro 2018 / Kali Linux

Hi ! First post here.

It's been 2 days since I'm trying to dual boot kali linux on my Macintosh (MacBook Pro 2018), but it keeps failing again and again... and when I finally succeed, when I'm booting the kali partition there's this error : icm firmware is in wrong mode: 15

So I was wondering if It's me who is doing it wrong or if it's just not possible to dual boot kali on macintosh... Is anybody had similar experience ?

Thanks in advance :)
