I can only hope the more people use #Linux so problems are more evident and fixeable.

Eventually there will be a dump utility to report a bug with full machine details so it can be reproducible. Or even better, a live distribution for system problems.

The ability to replicate the problem is what makes fixes faster to come.

@darkghosthunter So we need to flatpak your entire machine as part of the bug reporting process? It would work ...

@valen1
Can flatpak do this? I thought flatpak only reproduces applications in a container, don't entire systems.

@codeDude @darkghosthunter I think a flatpak contains everything except the kernel. So all libraries and configurations.

@valen1
Sounds like docker but I don't know, certainly, something like that would help to reproduces the use cases of bugs.

@codeDude You're right, I'm wrong. Docker does the package all dependencies thing. Thanks for correcting me.
