I replaced my SteamOS with GamerOS about a year and a half ago... I haven't gotten around to making use of a lot of its extra features, but its been more of a seamless experience that SteamOS ever was...

The reviews on steam thus far are not good... Sounds really buggy (and those are probably Windows players - we probably have extra)... I think I'll wait to see if things improve.

Quoting: Horithey try to convert you to Windows or they start insulting you (calling you a cheapskate, a hippie, etc.) so that any productive discussion is pretty much killed.

My advantage in this situation is that I am a hippie and a cheapskate, and PROUD of it, so I don't feel insulted at all.. :D

Releasing for Linux, day 1, is very important to Simply Puzzles. It's our operating system of choice, and if we can do anything to increase the user base, then we should. All our future games will also be compatible with Linux on launch.

I think I'll buy it just for that quote....

Quoting: iiariSo, Manjaro is actually going to sunset Bauh and now Flatpaks, the AUR, and Snaps will all go through Pamac. Do your Flatpaks respect system theming?

Well, that's certainly good news for me on bauh->pamac, as I primarily use pamac at the prompt for the lion's share of my package management. I really can't tell you about system theming, because I really don't pay that much attention to theming things.. as long as I can get my backgrounds dark, I'm not too worked up about much else..

Quoting: iiari

Quoting: gradyvuckovicFlatpak out of the box?

Woohoo!

I'm loving the slow but steady adoption of Flatpak....

Great explanation, thanks. As someone who hated Snaps (and those plus unstable PPA's pushed me out of the Ubuntu ecosystem) I have a few questions for you:

1) How are Flatpaks with speed? Snaps were soooo slooooow to launch.
2) Is native theming reflected in Flatpaks?
3) If Flatpaks conquer all, what kinda is the point of different distros anymore? They really do become only theming and software selection boutiques. In the best case scenario, as with Manjaro, they develop their own unique apps and workflows.

Thanks!

If you're on Manjaro (or apparently a debian-based distro, although I haven't tried it there), you can install 'bauh [External Link]' which is a frontend package manager that will let you install flatpaks (and snaps and appimages). I've installed a few and see no discernible difference in speed (and I don't think one should). Most recently I installed the 'cura' flatpak (3d printing slicer program), as I could not get any of its version in the AUR to successfully work and have data loaded for my printer. Its working great installed as a flatpak, so that has really boosted my appreciation of them.

The new single player campaign (potentially leading into multiplayer) sounds great to me. Its just what I potentially need before I would consider multiplayer (and getting my behind kicked).

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI love Manjaro but not enough to use Gnome ;)

I 2nd that... I've been rockin' Manjaro-KDE for several years now. No need to switch over to that yucky Gnome...
