There's now a Debian User Repository in the style of the Arch User Repository
30 Jun 2021 at 4:35 pm UTC

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)

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääWhat about the security aspect as some instances are pushing these "convenient" ways to install stuff? The authors of these packages cannot automatically be trusted and confirmed, so on. The software pulled from this "Arch style repo" are not sandboxed like snaps and flatpaks can be :huh:
You can (and have to) manually read the PKGBUILD before installing.

Talking point: what have you been playing recently?

Some wads for Doom with GZDoom as always, also some clicker/idle games.

A busy weekend ahead perhaps? Steam Play Proton 6.3-5 is out now

Quoting: CatKillerA game that isn't native and doesn't work in Proton is worth nothing (obviously).

A game that isn't native and accidentally works in Proton is worth maybe 10%. It could stop working at any time.

A game that isn't native but deliberately works in Proton (so the developer tests in Proton and fixes their game if it stops working) is worth something like 50%.

A native game is worth full price.
What about a native game that works better in Proton?

Melvor Idle is probably one of the best idle games around

Thank you but i'm already playing two idle games (simultaneously with each other and with Doom II)
