Having access to the AUR in Manjaro is handy as I have leveraged these packages for gaming:

AntiMicroX
Arx Liberatis
Devilution X
DosBox Staging
System76 keyboard configurator for Launch
libstrangle
MangoHud
vkbasalt

This is s**t because the original has a native version for Linux, yet they are being really difficult for the sequel. Oh well, the player base is kinda "meh" anyways: https://steamdb.info/app/581320/ [External Link]

I have a lot of games on GOG, but there are times where there's a native Linux version of a game on Steam (like Metro Exodus) but GOG is Windows only. Also scenarios where versions of Quake on Steam got a free update to the Enhanced Edition, but still absent on GOG.

I'd love to have a native GOG Galaxy client, but for now, I have to settle for Lutris.

These should be easy:

1. Offer the last Mesa. This won't matter for people that use Ubuntu on servers of course as they will not touch Mesa/Xorg/Wayland, but for those on the desktop, it is really beneficial. Avoids a PPA.

2. Offer the latest Wine/Wine Staging. Like Mesa, this is desktop gamer focused and would be nice to have the latest without a PPA.

3. Offer the latest Lutris. Pop!_OS kinda does this already in their Pop_Shop, but it would be nice to have this once again... without a PPA.

4. Should we have the latest kernel as an option to install as a package? Like linux-latest or something. I think System76 does this in Pop!_OS with their linux-system76 package.

If Capcom is committing to the DMC series on Proton, it would be nice if we could get the HD collection of the first 3 games running without editing hex files and running Proton GE: https://www.protondb.com/app/631510 [External Link]

I forgot Stafia existed. There was a real circle jerk from the GOL team that it was Linux gaming but it wasn’t. A locked down server only experience and developers didn’t use that Vulkan experience in being games to Linux.

It is totally apt's fault and I'm surprised that the Debian devs still left that option to nuke your system so easily. I'm kinda glad this happened because it is a reality check for System76 that they need to be more careful with their releases.

I agree with others that apt should do an update before installing any packages.

Wine in Arch/Manjaro is stuck at 6.16. Are there issues stopping from the new ones being added?

If they are going through the effort with Vulkan on Linux and upgrading Windows to DirectX 11, why not just use use Vulkan on Windows too? Figured having to target one renderer would make things easier.
