The popular Arch-based distro CachyOS gets a new release with a significantly reworked installer

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm not too clued up on it, but it seems it was done differently before. Direct from their blog post "bootloader selection has been moved directly into the installer".

Oh yeah, the bootloader selection screen appeared before the installer. Now it makes sense, thanks.

a significantly reworked installer, which also now includes bootloader selection

I can vouch that CachyOS installer included a bootloader selection screen since I've first tried it (more than a year ago). Maybe even earlier. :)

And even Linux/Wine enthusiasts agreed on this, see below one of those discussions, is quite funny now in hindsight: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/523897653314331401/ [External Link]
I read that thread and LOL I was on that discussion 😅.

Glad to have been completely proved wrong.

Sorry about that. I've now rectified my comment.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI'm not even sure it's worth running ported games any more if they're just going to drop support anyway.
I think it depends on who's doing the port. Almost all of Ethan Lee's ports are still supported and being updated to run on Steam Deck.

Hot take: that's why I don't mind Proton "ports". Native ports are better, of course, but only when they work well and the original developer really care about them. When it doesn't happen, playing on Proton unfortunately but eventually becomes the best option.
