Showing permissions for Flatpak programs in Discover sounds like a good addition. I don't use Discover, but I think it would be handy for those that do.

I welcome contributions to things like Wine, Proton, DXVK, Mesa, etc. Not interested in Snaps or anything involving them though. Sorry.

Hmm. I do have the latest stable Mesa, but I also use the Steam Flatpak. One of the Flatpak runtimes I have installed is the Mesa 21.3.8 freedesktop SDK. Not sure which Mesa the Steam Flatpak uses.

I had been looking to get an RX 6600 or 6600 XT back in December when I was putting my PC together. But prices jumped by the time I was ready, so I had to settle for an RX 590 in the $500 dollar range.

Funny that those cards I was originally looking at are now going for $100-$200 cheaper than the card I ended up getting. No point getting them now! The RX 590 may be a Polaris GDDR5 card, but it's played everything I want to play no problem. Getting an RDNA2 card is a waste of my money now, particularly with my Steam Deck coming up sometime in the remaining days of Q2.

I have never, ever, gotten KDE Connect to work. The one "problem" I've had in my almost two years of Linux that I've never been able to solve. Sorry, just needed to rant a bit.

Very cool. I'd rather wait for the official release from Valve myself, but it's nice to see someone do this.

Quoting: LNX

Thanks though to Proton

for killing native linux games development

I completely understand where you are coming from.

I hope you can also understand where I am coming from when I say that I am grateful to be able to play video games on Linux at all.

As someone who uses the Steam Flatpak on his EndeavourOS install, I would rather Canonical contribute to that and help make it better instead of doing their own thing and making a Steam Snap package (which, let's be honest, likely no one has asked for). Of course, Canonical is going to do the latter.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is playable with Proton Experimental now. Certain cutscenes don't work, but that's nothing new. Same issue with lots of other games.

I forgot to ask in my earlier comment, but I see that this game will be getting a Linux release (kudos to the developers for that). Will the demo be available for Linux? I'm sure it'd run fine with Proton, but I figure I might as well ask.
