One issue that isn’t mentioned is that it removes distro-specific considerations and modifications from the process. A major point of Linux is to have a repo specific to your distro and that repo represents the needs and desires of the people who use that distro. Flatpak removes all of that and it’s a shame.
A wok. It makes dinner very easy. It works for a multitude of different meals and rarely has to clean another pan. Benefits of a carbon steel wok:
Makes cooking faster because it heats up immediately.
Makes cooking easier because it cools down very quickly. I can undo some mistakes or tell things to hold up, stop cooking for a second while I prepare some other thing.
Because of these first two, I actually enjoy cooking. I have more control over my process.
It’s carbon steel so it’s just a stamped piece of metal. That’s essentially going to last a lifetime.
Seasoning is the hardest thing to do. Which is just turning the heat up on it while there is oil. Wait until it lightly smokes. Rub it with a paper towel to get the excess off, and let it cool. You are done. Takes maybe 2 minutes and is usually done when I am cleaning the rest of dinner up.
As long as your soap doesn’t have lye in it, you can use it in the wok. You still shouldn’t need to though. Just use the oils you cooked with as the seasoning. Eventually, it will build up and you won’t need to even season it.
