Those still maintaining the statement about Arch, Manjaro, Endeavour or whatnot Arch based being more stable than Ubuntu are more or less bluffing.. The very nature of Arch base and the likes is not to be stable but more fresh, yet very untested..

Then again SteamOS 3.x is now Arch based also but quite nothing like Arch really.

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!

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.

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.
