Quoting: stuff
Quoting: SteveFox1620It's pay to win garbage. Why would they care if you pay them on windows or linux?
I don't think Apex is pay 2 win. Why do you think it's pay 2 win?
I played with three friends one day. We had 10 matches. I didn't get one kill and neither did they. I shot this one dude like 15 times in the head and he shot me three times and I died. Buddies said the same thing, and we noticed they all had characters and weapons you couldn't find or pick up with out paying for. One of them actually admitted and said they had Heat Sink and Heavy Metal skins or something and that was impossible to lose basically if you bought them. We were like WTF and left. Then we did an online search and found websites stating as such. Just google apex pay to win and they come up with all of it. We have had zero interest to go back and see if they fixed it. Not saying we are the best, or don't ever lose. We do win a lot of rounds in other games, and have good ranks in games that are not pay to win though.

Again, maybe they changed it. I'm not going to waste my time to find out. I'll just play other games.

Ubuntu flavours to drop Flatpak by default and stick to Snaps

I love flatpak. I distro hopped for a year from ubuntu after they kept making it harder to use, and game on. Now I am on manjaro/arch/steamos. I use official packages when available, or install flatpak when it is not. Then it's AUR and SNAP as a last ditch effort.

I played this at a friends house. Looked fun, but then noticed 3/5 matches someone was cheating. Never bought it. Certainly won't now. The devs lied and that's all I need to know.
