Quoting: dibzFor some reason I always find the layouts of GTK3 apps to be confusing. This looks like no exception, unfortunately.

I usually find them cleaner and easier to navigate, but I have been goofing around with Gnome for awhile now, and have gotten used to the ebb and flow of their stuff.

Though they could have done a better job of labeling things in the app. "Installed Tools" should be "Install Tools," showing that's the button you click to download a new version of Proton. The entries below that should be labeled as the currently installed tools per the launcher listed above.

The layout isn't final at all. I've just updated to make it more usable. I know user experience is important, but right now I'm more focused on the backend rather then the frontend. I'll make sure to keep that in my mind for a future update tho. Thanks you for your feedback :)

My issue with GTK3 in general isn't really your app, your app looks fine in the GTK3 sense to me. My issue is really with GTK3 in particular, the weird centered tabs in the title bar; menus in strange places, visual elements that aren't necessarily obvious. It's a symptom of all GTK3 stuff. Some apps are cleaner and easier to understand then others, but pretty much none of them are ever "immediately obvious look I know how to use it without having to learn how to use it". The designers of GTK3 really seem to have uh, let's call them "modern" ideas on what good UX is.

Quoting: dpanterYikes. :huh:

Security issues are hardly uncommon for stuff like this, Linux users just tend to pay more attention. Kudos for Liam mentioning driver versions, not sure if NVIDIA did too or not. Usually stuff like this is when I have to explain to people what backports are and why their systems are okay.

Agreed with the other pro-Mint comments here. It's the better Ubuntu, sans Canonical. Packages are a little slower to be pushed, and that's a good thing; They're tested better.

Ubuntu is pretty solid, but I have always had niggling issues here and there that people tend to attribute as part of the Linux experience, with virtually every Ubuntu release. Canonical tends to not have a great attitude with minor package or w/e issues, and if they fix it, it'll be in the next version -- where you get new minor issues, rinse, and repeat. Minor annoyances can really put people off if they're new to Linux.

Except it's not really part of the Linux experience. Mint polishes that not-quite-a-turd, I could count the issues like that on one hand that I've had with Mint over the years, and it's quite a few years at this point.

Also, on a different point, I will never understand why some people recommend Mint as a beginner distribution, which is a weird stigma to create. It gives the idea that it's meant just for beginners, but why does a distribution have to be hard, or work, heavily customized, or simply more difficult? It's totally fine if that's your thing of course, but there is no justification for it beyond personal preference typically.

Honestly I agree with the others, sideloading usually refers to "not this". Apparently, Wikipedia even has an entry backing that up...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideloading [External Link]

All that said, I can see why it's not entirely off-base to use here either, but the confusion it would cause also isn't unreasonable. Using it here makes it sound like Heroic is an ecosystem itself, which it isn't; though if you use a flatpak it might be... :tongue:

I wish the "RTXOn" videos they put out would focus more on Raytracing then DLSS framerates. I don't care about DLSS framerates, I want Raytracing porn.

Quoting: GuestOdd that Re-Volt is now "Playable". Was one of the first games I put on my Steam Deck and it worked fine.

Probably related to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6068 [External Link] is my guess.

They should have just copied Debian's different release names from the start, "stable, testing, and unstable."

Doesn't get more straight forward then that.

Quoting: enigmaxg2Awesome update! Now with the AppImage it just works! I had compiled it from source before, but I wasn't able to get an audio output (it was greyed out), some builds refused to run at all (illegal instruction)...

I had that problem with sound in the initial open-source release of Cemu, had to to do with the cubeb submodule/repo if I recall. I remember being able to fix it at the time but not what was required, but the compilation issue vanished not too long after that. Make sure you --recurse-submodules when you check out the repo too.

I agree with most sentiments here, I def prefer AppImage over snaps and flatpaks. I just wish they integrated better and had better ways to update -- sure, some of them can be updated with tools, but not all of them, and most of the time it's janky regardless.

Though as far as preference goes, I wish they were just packages. Thankfully Cemu can just be built directly.
