GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin getting an official Flatpak for Linux and Steam Deck

But...they still not provide Appimage for stable or nightly builds:

The latest Appimage available on Appimagehub is two years old:

However, you can now find easily unofficial Dolphin Appimage.

For me it's not a problem because I know how to compile it.

But for basic users, Flatpak and Appimage is a must to have.

And it's pleasant to just download and launch a program, without having bother to compile it, even for a Linux user.

Nice to see the Steam Deck continuing to have a positive impact for Linux users everywhere. Valve clearly made the right decision to support installing apps via Flatpak/Flathub.
Clearly! Developers have now standards on Linux (Flatpak, Proton) and they use it.

We can say that this emulator is now mature and they even provide a very good Linux quality version. Thanks to PCSX2 team for this very good job.

Yes, they provide packages for Windows exe, MacOSX, Android but no AppImage for Linux users :(

Dolphin developers should be aware that Linux users, like Windows users, enjoy downloading a program and running it directly without needing to compile it.

At least Flatpak has been recently updated:

Anti-Virus for what use? I never saw a virus on my Linux computers in more than 25 years.
To collect information on our Linux hard drives and sell them to companies for their statistics?

Mesa 24.1.0 released with big improvements for NVK, Zink, Explicit Sync
25 May 2024 at 7:04 am UTC

Hello, to enable Zink with a AMD GPU, I have to use this variable environment: MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink
Someone knows if this variable environment works with NVK too?

Netris is an open-source cloud gaming platform with Stadia-like features using Proton

Quoting: jordicomaInteresting. When it suports firefox (with open standards) and radeon gpus I'll try.
Hopefully someone will make it, as is opensource.
Same idea here.
It's a nice and awaited project from my side, the possibility to play all my Steam games anywhere, on any screen (TV, Pad etc...) by the Cloud.
There is GEforce Now but not all my STeam are available, only few.
Is it a non official Valve project? Like DXVK was?
Because Valve needs a fully cloud solution.
GOG launched in cloud gaming too with Amazon...

Manjaro 24.0 released with KDE Plasma 6, GNOME 46, Linux kernel 6.9

I had one issue on one of my computer where Manjaro is installed:
upgrade did not start, I had an error message about gpart.
I uninstalled gpart then everything ok

It's a little issue, nothing compared to an Ubuntu upgrade version where upgrade halted before the end and you can no more start the computer.
