Quoting: dziadulewiczIt may work yes, but the thing is it does not launch out of the box clicking Play. We are talking about the desktop here not Steam Deck. The Steam in question is most certainly not flatpak. Check out the discussions on SuperTux on Steam: it's filled with "not launching" or similar threads.

I just tried it on my Linux desktop. Absolutely zero issues out of the box. Hit Install, it installs. Hit Play, and it launches and runs fine.

I tried it too encouraged by your claim and guess what? IT HAS BEEN FIXED! :woot: It DOES launch now!

Quoting: dziadulewiczThat said, SuperTux does not launch on Linux in Steam because its a AppImage package and problems related to that. It's quite ironic that SuperTux does not work OOTB on Linux :dizzy:

It works fine on Linux in Steam: it was the second game I installed on the Deck. The appimage had problems only if you were using flatpak Steam.

Quoting: hardpenguinAlso, I wouldn't say no to a modern clone of Sensible Soccer...

Absolutely a big YES to that. Sensible Soccer is the only football game i even realy played(yes, it is actually Football, and that ball carrying game is something else) :tongue:

Maybe this will speed up the process on getting 0 A.D. officially by the developers to Steam. I mean it's astounding it's not there yet still officially. Why not?

People game on Steam on Linux and expect to find most of their needs just there now. In this day and age any tinkering getting a game to launch is a huge no. Click Play and game. Or not.

Quoting: dpanterClassic Nvidia "support". Are they going to help out at all this time? :neutral:

No. They are busy with selling $2000 GPUs.

That's exactly a part of the problem. They are busy with it. AMD should get more attention in the market. Well, Intel is there too now with their first gaming GPU efforts.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaCanonical dropping Snap would be both very surprising and very good news, so... fingers crossed ! Snap has been a huge disappointment for me (some extensions not working anymore on Firefox, longer loading times, and zero advantage for the "end user" over a standard Deb package).

There is absolutely no reason at all for Canonical to drop a tech that serves them and the developers well. Snap and Flatpak are also very different and comparing them is actually not very worthwhile. Both are great and have their place, and user can choose whatever he uses on his PC.

That said, snaps have served myself well and i just got the latest Firefox 105 as a sandboxed snap (the official package which Mozilla themselves wanted).

Quoting: fireplaceWhat was the point of that update? Do snaps still exist? I thought ubuntu is using flatpak by default now?

I haven't heard of that being the case.

I looked it up again. It turned out that it was Ubuntu MATE the one that switched to Flatpak by default. Still, only a matter of time till regular Ubuntu does the same.

Ubuntu MATE uses both snap and flatpak, which is very good for regular user.

Finally this question was responded after the many requests in the Steam Forum [External Link]. Maybe these do effect.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI hardly ever use the terminal. The way to work like that is to use a user-friendly distro (in my case Mint) and not to try to make it do weird things. Soon as you're trying to do weird stuff, you need the power of the terminal.

I have been lately seeing this same statement in many places, forums, etc. "I hardly ever use the terminal" or even "I refuse to use the terminal".

It is kinda telling who has gotten to Linux and from where, how far Linux has come in user friendliness, and what is the preference to use a computer (say, after a long days work). Click click and click :happy:
