Nice, time to wait for the double hotfix cycle as usual.

But fr, the Epic login fixes is nice, sometimes it got weird with how it is logged in on the browser but Heroic things you're not logged in. Not too bad, but weird and a hassle.

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: fenglengshunI honestly prefer something with better integration to my system and easier updating.

Though thankfully, there IS Bauh which makes installing and updating AppImage easier. And they maintain a database of extra AppImage sources on top of AppImageHub, so maybe someone can ask for this to be added ther (I personally doubt I'll ever use this, since it doesn't seem like ith as Switch emulation integrated yet).

What's annoying is we're ending up with the same nonsense we did before. Oh, we have RPM, tar.gz, deb... oh wait, now you're saying .deb between Ubuntu and Debian aren't compatible; and rpm between Suse and RH aren't compatible...

Now come along Flatpak, universal package management! Except now there is Snap and AppImage, which are also universal package management! Though AppImage is kind of lacking in the management department! I haven't heard of Bauh, I'll have to check that out, as I do use a few AppImages. But at least we're not like Windows, where you pretty much always have to go to a site, hope it's the manufacturer's site, and download an installer that may or may not have been tampered with, etc.

Eh, Flatpak is basically universal except in Ubuntu-land, and even in Ubuntu it's just a matter of installing. The only people who wouldn't install it are the ones who don't mind Snap or just don't know about flatpak (unlikely, unless they're just using Ubuntu for college classes).

AppImage is a very different thing, they're closer to portable apps and I don't see anyone on Windows complaining about portable apps vs .exe/.msi installed apps.

Snaps itself has a place in CLI/server environment, it's just Canonical insisting on using it for everything and in such an in-your-face kind of way that makes people annoyed.

I don't think it's as much a problem as some make it out to be, just use whichever has most of your apps. They're just tools in the end.

Quoting: LinuxerAww there is no snap for it or a flatpak

An AppImage is not good for you I assume?
I installed it from the AUR on my side. :heart:

Huh, understandable, sucks that this happens, but it is what it is. As long as the Proton version works well enough, then I'm pretty happy about it.

Quoting: ArehandoroI don't understand why is it called CS 2 when in reality it is just the same game but with a modern engine/physics/graphics...

Quoting: slaapliedjeRight, but who would want to bother when you can just use flatpak? :)

Actually I think someone did make a proof of concept alternate store to snapcraft, it just never gone anywhere. I don't even remember what its name is, I just remembered it exists.

Well, at least it's finally there, and with the work done on Treeview on Nautilus, maybe I don't have to groan whenever I see gtk filepicker because it's just so much less feature complete than KDE. It was to the point that I remember I turned on the debug feature to try to force everything to use portal, so that it'd use the KDE filepicker.

I really don't care which toolkit or DE or whatever it is -- if it works, it works, and thank god someone finally did the work. Even if it's not the most thanked job, I salute the devs tackling this ages old issue.

...am I the only one who felt "neat," and then just shrug?

Maybe because I'm starting to get used to using Flatpak, distrobox, Conty, and Nix that I'm just not fussy about how I get my apps. If app don't work with Flatpak, I find it on Nix, if it's not there, then I'll use Conty, distrobox, or AppImage, and if it really wants to be installed on root... then I'll just install it.

My only issue with snaps is the clutter, otherwise I'd probably use it as well. It's, like, whatever man. Just install your app and do what you need to do. People getting more access for Steam is nice, and Canonical's the one doing the work anyways, so, uh... neat. Have fun!

Don't mind me, I'm just here praying for some sort of official release for SE Asia. Maybe they could give pity and have SEA release while on the way to shipping to the Australians.

According to some of my friends, LAN transfer can still be slower than downloading from Steam directly. But I think in most cases it's good -- I've made sure to enable it for everyone on all of my devices, because who knows, maybe someone else in the sharehouse want to download a game I already downloaded and in our connection I'm pretty sure LAN transfer will be better.
