first go at using Flapi

[schip]

Im using a low spec machine: eMachines eM350 N450 Atom, 2Gb..that I usually run Haiku-os on.
Chromium crashes..and would like to try Falkon which I sometimes use in Haiku.

The Falkon info I have for Flapi is:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo
flatpak install kdeapps org.kde.falkon
flatpak run org.kde.falkon

The sample in flapi doesn't list 'Internet'..so using 'Network':
proj: kdeapps org.kde.falkon
app ID: org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
app name: Falkon
des: Light Browser

..now Ive not used flatpaks before but at 72 Im still learning...so hopefully someone can point me in right direction.

I did get a result that looked like it worked..but clicking on the resulting icon didn't produce a result.

Must say though - Im amazed at the range of options within Easyos and the things that work outta the box.

if the executable is named "falkon", try running it in a terminal, see if any error messages.

oops gotta keep this short as chromium keeps crashing.
theres mistakes in my post above.
and naturally links go to a 64 bit download.

usual story: operator error !!

gonna try a different browser but chromium wont let me download.

so gonna download on a different pc and install..and hopefully will be back later.

had good learning inn this exercise..so all good.

success !!

..got the right info added..as I did yesterday (I think) but today it worked.

I wrongly thought maybe my emachine was 32 bit but on checking found it to be 64bit.
..actually I didn't expect it to work as the Flapi screen indicated an incomplete down load.

Anyway all good..now I can test Falkon in Easyos and see how it compares to Falkon in Haiku.

My next experiment will be to see if can install Librewolf ..Firefox based without all the stuff I dont need but with all the settings preset the way I like them.
