Quoting: ada_Genuine question for people who use versons besides proton-ge, why? i don't believe i have in quite a while and haven't ran into any issues.

GE has less testing, and no support. You also can’t log a bug with Valve when using GE, since it’s not Valve’s Proton and that can end up limiting the amount and correctness of actual bug reports. It can get messy. Ideally, you should use the likes of GE on Steam only specifically when you *need* it. For outside Steam though, GE is generally what you want thanks to the umu launcher.

Quoting: dpanterThe modding support is potentially enormous news.

For sure, I hope we also get an official GUI interface within steam itself to run third party mod loader .exe files inside of a prefix too, then the modding support will really be nice. People shouldn't have to rely on third party stuff like Protontricks to do this.

Sounds like something along those lines is planned to come!

Quote"imitating the Funko Fusion development website"

So, they still think this is the case, somehow.
If you have a look at their Funko Fusion site I see next to none similarities.
If you take in consideration they have some dev site, I guess it should not be publicly known. And then I must I say, I wonder who copied from whom if there were any similarities.

They're specifically talking about the page itch.io took down. The pages on itch can be heavily customized.

Played 8 hours now, sticking to Desktop because the Deck performance and text size just isn't good enough IMO.

Loving trying out the Witch, mixing together summoning spells with attack spells. Plays so nicely on Desktop with Proton.

Quoting: Liam DaweThis "bloat" is not something normies care about, only pedantic people who like to watch a few extra MBs get used up. The reality is: only a few people really care.

Liam, like many people here, you have a monster of a PC, of course you don't care about snaps in performance aspects.
But in reality, not only your reality, when your low-end computer slow down because of snaps (it worked perfectly fine before), I assure you: you care.
And when because of that, you think about buying new hardware, I assure you: you care.
In the end it's just more waste (we surely don't need that) for zero benefit of using snaps for normies (as you say).
Microsoft do this kind of shit to force people to buy new hardware, people complain about that and some did installed Linux, we don't need Linux distribution doing the same as Microsoft for "reasons" that only make sense (globally) for Canonical.
It's just crazy to pretend there is no problem about that, and worse: that it only concern pedantic people...
I hope there are people who understands me, as it seems nobody in the comments mentioned that until now.

Computers don't slow down from snaps, that's an odd thing to claim.

As for storage space, that's only really an issue on truly low-end stuff, which you're not going to be using a whole lot of anything on anyway.

Big storage has been cheap for a long time now. It's a small price to pay for a one-package-fits-all approach that both Snaps and Flatpaks do and both package types are being improved all the time.
