Can't install ghostty, despite following instruction
I'm not super savvy with Linux, but I'm getting there. I want to use ghostty instead of whatever is baked in and it won't let me download it for some reason. I get this error
error: Updating rpm-md repo 'copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:pgdev:ghostty': cannot update repo 'copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:pgdev:ghostty': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried; Last error: Status code: 404 for https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/pgdev/ghostty/fedora--/repodata/repomd.xml
Saw posts about doing ghostty-git, but I don't know where to find that and I've heard it's a nightly build which is unstable. Any help appreciated.

just use the appimage, way easier
is there a reason that ostree isn't an option? I know from the documentation it should be a last resort, but why can't I have it be system-level install other than it being immutable?
well you met the reason firsthand
it can prevent updates
if I'm reading it correctly it seems the reason it prevents updating is because of something blocking the mirrors
anyway you should avoid layering unless really needed
also ghostty is being packaged to flatpak
oh?
did they ETA the release?
i dont think there is any ETA but you can follow this pr https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/6678
