Quoting: BoldosI trust it is really them and not that proverbial "some anonymous person somewhere in Nebraska" who packaged it on his/her PC and then published it to the store with whatever hacks attached inside.
I understand your argument, but there are snaps which fall into 2nd category as well. Example: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/mmtrt [External Link]
AFAIK with Flatpak you need to provide build instructions if you want to get the Flatpak published to Flathub unless you can't because the source is not available.

Quoting: HamishNope, for the same reason most older web browsers no longer work with modern websites
Welp, I could browse just fine from an iPad 2 running iOS 9 so I thought maybe there could be a chance.

Quoting: GuestAnd the 'casual' mode is a joke, i don't understand why you can't choose the maps like in mm
Doesn't CSGO let you pick a map at the end of every match? Also you can start a vote to change map, which can be used to play the same map after game ends.
I played it for a short while then got bored, I play Apex when I have time.

Steam now allows transferring games between PCs and Steam Deck too

After doing this update Apex Legends just disappeared into void and I have to redownload, also "manage library folders" button (or sth similar) found in Settings -> Downloass does nothing. Reverted to stable.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAlso why would you share anything with a Linux hater, sounds like you need to ditch people.
Sharing is not my choice.
The good thing is I set up things nicely: Windows and Linux dual boot, all of the games and data are on the Windows partition but I can mount NTFS with 2 clicks on Linux so everything is accessible on both operating systems. No, having Steam library on NTFS doesn't cause odd issues, for me at least.
The bad side is no one cares about the FOSS philosophy but instead whether Linux works or not. More often than not Linux doesn't work OOB, I can fix the problems but the moment the failure occurs, the choice is made.
Quoting: slaapliedjeWeird, is the mod installing some case sensitive files that are causing it to not work on Linux?
IIRC all files are lowercase but I will take another look. A regular HOI4 mod doesn't include platform specific files like .exe or .so so it should therotically work everywhere but it doesn't. I tried asking for help in mod community's Discord but I didn't get useful advice. (files may be conflicting, switch to DX9 which ofc doesn't exist)
