Quoting: PlintslîchoI hope the games gets released on itch.io or GOG.com as well.
It will be DRM-free anyway even in Steam because it's very hard to implement DRM with GPL'ed game engine.

Proton 6.14 GE-2 and Wine 6.14 GE-2 are out, easily update Proton GE with ProtonUp

Quoting: jrtWhat do I need ProtonUP for? There is an AUR package that updates proton-ge with normal system updates and you could probably do the same with a deb/rpm repository. I don't like a separate tool to update individual components. I'm a strong believer in the benefits of package managers.
Arch installs ProtonGE to /usr while ProtonUP installs it to ~/.steam

Garry Newman of Facepunch mentions working with EAC for Rust on Linux with Proton

Quoting: CatKiller... but I could see the anti-cheat vendors insisting on a solution that only works on Valve's Proton - signing keys or whatnot ...
Or kernel module.

Quoting: Sojiro84Ahh, I was expecting an actual theme, but seems it's just some changed colors.
No, it is actual theme.

There's now a Debian User Repository in the style of the Arch User Repository

Quoting: Nibelheim- It doesn't really support Debian, but Ubuntu and the author consider it "the same" (watch out for names and versions of dependencies which may not be the same between Debian and Ubuntu).
Even Debian has 3 different versions (4 with oldstable) with different versions of libraries. I wonder how these PKGBUILDs will manage this?
(Arch has 2 versions + Manjaro, but they differ very little)
Arch has 1 version since 2017, i686 support stoped. And before, the only difference was just 64 bits libs wasn't accessible to 32 bits Arch. Otherwise, everything was same (packages name etc...)

Manjaro is not Arch. Manjaro use his own repositories. Like Ubuntu is not Debian.

AUR has no Manjaro support. If something is not working on Manjaro, never ask about a fix to an AUR packager...
I meaned 2 versions: stable and testing.
