Since flatpak is missing it is probably that.

Can you even truly claim it's open source when it's using AI generated code?

Of course it still is.

What you can not tell is if it violates OTHER projects copyrights / copyleft the LLM was trained on. It's more of a legal minefield rather than it not being open source. For example if it [the LLM] spilled out GPL-3 code they would have to attribute this. But since it is LLM code the developers themselves don't know.

So in any occasion IF some one can find "their" code in Lutirs they can probably sue them.

I can understand them [the developer]. Especially for an FOSS project this big. Users often times just request random features or bright up issues one singular person is barely able to fix.

If we're being honest most FOSS projects are maintained by like one or maybe two people. While tons of others made like one commit and never show up to further support the project. Neither by bug fixing, testing nor financially but expect the core devs to do so.

So yes there is no issue in using LLMs to make that two core developers more productive and keep up with the pressure. While entitled users argue about LLM code and "cancel" the developers?

As long as Lutris overall does not decrease in quality, which is often the pitfall by people NOT knowing how to code and just vibe in the hopes it works, there is no issue here.

Also we don't know how many PRs by other peoples which are merged with Lutris are actual LLM code themselves. Yet ppl hate on Mathieu?

PS.: I would not call this "AI" as none of these tools are truly intelligent.

Quoting: ShmerlStill waiting for Debian team to package 6.6.x.

Still waiting for Mint team to package any 6.x!!

Understandably slow for Mint with its long term releases, but I'm talking about the rolling versions of Debian.

I think in Debian it depends on newer Qt, and packaging that is usually a pretty heavy lifting. Not sure how other distros manage to do it so quickly. They might simply ignore all the bugs fallout caused by that, while Debian Qt/KDE team have do that carefully.

They do it like this: https://openqa.opensuse.org/ [External Link]

I didn't even had issues with 6.6.0. But also I've been using it for like 3 days until today. 🤷‍♂️

It is still funny the only one who actually has something to do with Linux and gaming is Liam 😅

Oh ha! Long Dark is back! Nice, I bought in on GOG back then, then they pulled it and I was left with not bugfixes / updates. Glad it is back.

Quoting: fenglengshunWell, Bazzite's dev at least has stated that he believe that anti-cheat should be done server-side (paraphrasing).

100% agreed. I mean this whole client-side anti cheat is deeply flawed anyway. Imagine you cant brows certain websites or fullfill any payments online because your system lacks a local fraud-detector. No one in Webdev even does this. For online games it is exactly the same situation. Except the website becomes the game.

Latency also is not a valid argument here either. Which I often hear. "But it's a fast paced shooter we can't have server side anti cheat it's too slow" Mean while GamingOnLinux played BF6 using GeForce Now just fine. While the whole game was streamed and not just a few bytes of player positions and stats and it worked fine.

If you ask me, if a dev / publisher is crazy about anti cheat, then simply don't allow people to run your game locally in the first place. In Software development there is this number one rule: "Never trust the client" same goes for CLIENT side anti cheats. You can not trust them either. You can simply not know if they have been tampered with.

Locking down the customers system and installing spyware is not the way to go and even violates (some) human rights:

1. All human beings are free and equal
Not the case the user is no longer free and spied on. Also they are no longer equal, we Linux users simply locked out and considered a cheater.

2. No discrimination
Well, as I said Linux users are obviously discriminated here by being locked out entirely simply because of a personal choice. Imagine some would lock out transgender of these games to "Protect the players".

...

11. Innocent until proved guilty
Do I really need to elaborate on this one? Everyone is simply considered a cheater in the first place. Otherwise they wouldn’t install their AC on everyone’s PC.

12. Right to privacy
Obviously violated

Okay, maybe I've gone a bit too wild with this. Idk someone will sure correct me.

Quoting: The_Real_Bitterman"Reduce duplicate efforts", "replacing Lutris with fagus launcher" ... Nobody forced them not to use Flatpaks...

This really sounds like a self inflicted issue caused by point-releases and their cravings to package everything downstream instead. Then call it a win to form an organization to fix what they caused themselves...

I mean nobody prohibited them to push their modifications to the mainline kernel even before.

While I also came to learn that all these "gaming tweaks" and "optimisations" usually don't deliver any real differences or significant improvements over something not having these "gaming optimisations".

Flatpak launchers have many issues including gamescope/scopebuddy not working and using their own outdated Mesa, as well as being affected by the Nvidia Flatpak driver issues, this is why a built in launcher is greatly preferred

Uhm, no. Gamescope works fine here. I mean there's literally an up-to-date Gamescope runtime which just maps into every flatpaks supporting it. But also why then not shipping just Gamescope outside of flatpak? Gamemode works the same way. Installed on the host and everything flatpak can use gamemoderun just fine.

What NVIDIA flatpak driver issue? Do I live in a parallel universe? Zero issue with flatpaks and NVIDIA drivers here. They just work. (Well despite the usual NVIDIA stuff you have regardless)
