Also, is it time to add/update the distro options?

Right now, I'm still using Manjaro, but I'm expecting to switch to Vanilla OS this weekend, but after a month or so of testing I'll probably stay with Tuxedo OS or Kubuntu Focus until October when lots of distro's WIP changes are done.

Quoting: anthI'd prefer a couple more options:
- Yes
- No
- Planning to get one
- Would get one if they were available in my country

Yeah, I like this. I'm definitely on that last one.

SHMUP Fest: September 25 - October 2

This gets my hopes up for a Touhou official game discount finally... but there probably won't be any discount because ZUN is not into them. Oh well.

Visual Novel fest is going to be major wallet drain for me though.

I hope this also helps nw.js games as well. Even with native nw.js, some RPG Maker MV/MZ games still runs awfully depending on what's going on in the screen.

Loving this. Anything that could improve Trails in the Sky (which I run in DX8 mode since for some reason DX9 don't work with the Evo graphics patch) is good in my book.

Quoting: ticktokI see 5.27 is still under 'test' on the arch repo's. Any idea when those will get released?

It's usually a matter of days -- Arch packagers are usually faster at testing and releasing Arch than GNOME for some reason (as I recall a case where GNOME users being annoyed how long it took for them to release it.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIn case anyone was wondering, the new Debian Stable (Bookworm) should release with 5.27 of Plasma Desktop.

Nice. It is supposed to be the LTS release as the final Plasma 5 point release so it really would have been a shame if Debian didn't get it for their next release.

Also, I didn't even know `kde-inhibit` is a thing.

Quoting: Guestafter heroic launcher got sideloaded game support I honestly don't feel any need in lutris so far. I don't use it, I still keep it installed just in case something won't work on heroic. Sure, lutris has game options UI with more fine tuning stuff, but heroic feels way more streamlined.

Same. I'd probably only use it for emulators, and I still have a few games setup with emulators for that. I would've set up more if the process for adding game is more straightforward as in Heroic, but it's just such a hassle that I don't want to bother with it.

I'll probably just go and use Steam ROM Manager to import them all to Steam while using Heroic to manage my Wine and Linux games which is then piped to Steam as well.

Woohoo, more language and Japanese games fixes! Always make me so happy to see them, seems like there's been a lot of work on that since Proton 7.0. Hopefully that keeps up for Proton 8.0 because Japanese games a toooon of weird quirks.

While none of the games here interest me (aside for a slight one on Shadow Man which I watched a video of, last year), it does remind me to finish my purchase of Adams Media Knowledge 101 bundle. I owned two of the books in physical form, they were pretty good, and it seems a nice quick reference and starting point for researching stuff. And I did so with gamingonlinux as the affiliate partner, so I hope that helps.

Looks good, but doesn't really appeal to me. I'm mostly raised on PS2 so I don't really have any nostalgia for a lot of those old games and the few classics I'm interested in (like Neverwinter Night) is on GOG, along with some of the newer stuff I'm interested in (VNs, particularly AliceSoft) so...

> When the selected wine version was not found Heroic will search and suggest another one

Very nice, I recently had an issue of Wine not found, and this should make it clearer and easier in similar cases.

The new theme looks good, though it looks like the existing Nord Dark theme I currently use for it.

Game settings dialog box is nice as well, makes it easier to dismiss the setting and immediately start your game to try out the new setting.

More cloud save stuff, nice, nice. And the updates/download stuff is neat too.

None of it is particularly big and game-changing like the previous "Add Game" sideload option, but these are nice QoL stuff as I've used the launcher as my main launcher/library for anything not on Steam.
