Yeah, if the Reddit thread I made was any indication, it seems that a lot of the people deep in Linux ecosystem don't really care, but a lot of people who had spent a lot of time in Windows in recent years DO care a lot about Playnite.
For me, the main focus is the store. IIRC Playnite is the only launcher with support for JASTUSA store, the favored store among visual novel enjoyers aside for Steam and GOG (if they even care about those two). I was surprised by how much extensions it has - Lutris looked small compared to Playnite.
I can see why a lot of people are excited because of that.

Oh, that's very nice. I made this post [External Link] about going from CS1 to CS2 in 2022 and to this day I still receive replies of people thanking me about it.
I do hope there's something in the work for Non-Steam game store as well...

Flathub adds We Love Games and On the go sections plus details on what's next for their infrastructure

Hopefully the infrastructure changes will make it easier to package things for Flathub. I've seen a decent amount of devs tried to do it, and then gave up after months of frustration.

Hopefully this means stuff like MSO365 on CrossOver gets much better performance soon.
NTSYNC for Proton / Wine now in Linux kernel 6.14 that "Should make many SteamOS users happy"

Well, we'll still need to wait for a kernel update on SteamOS first. Isn't it pretty slow on SteamOS still? We still haven't gotten KDE 6 if I didn't miss anything...
Even with SteamOS coming to more systems Bazzite has no plans to go anywhere

@Caldathras
The short answer is: they use Containers technology (which is used in Cloud) locally/offline (aka Native).
When you actually get down to it, their build process is remarkably similar to (if not basically IS) docker image/container build process. Then you as user just pull that image to run offline - or maybe build on top of it, like any Docker/Podman container. It's super cool stuff.

SteamOS will never have a Bazzite Portal (`yafti`) and its accompanying `just` CLI backend. That alone will make it so that Bazzite will always have a place as the "more convenient SteamOS" if not also "more up-to-date SteamOS" as well as "more customizable SteamOS" with how deep you can go with rpm-ostree/bootc and ublue-os/BlueBuild github template.
Even when SteamOS is out, I'll still recommend people to try out Bazzite because if nothing else, you can get stuff like Waydroid, key-remapper, OpenRGB, and others - things that people might not even know exist - to be installed quickly during the setup process. That's big.

I think SEO here can just mean "things you can easily find from Google," which is good because most people are going to just go to Google when they're confused with anything Linux/SteamOS and isn't already in a forum/chat thread.
Though, maybe mention Bazzite as well, since people are still using it as a SteamOS alternative?

NonSteamLaunchers tool for installing popular game stores working on better Desktop Linux support

Hm, Hoyoplay is interesting given most of their games still need a patch (though I heard Genshin and ZZZ doesn't need it?).
No more support for DMM is a shame, but that launcher is a mess from my personal experience.

Why are there so many different Proton versions? Proton 8, Proton 9, Experimental, GE-Proton

Isn't the Proton major version always tied to Wine Stable update? Proton 9 = rebased on top of Wine 9.
