Quoting: Linuxer

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoFlatpak is a horrible way to distribute binaries. Appimage are the most interesting way to do that.

Appimages are not new comer friendly: they have to be chmodded to make 'em run. This alone is too much for a new user. Appimages are also not mandatorily sandboxed, so a security risk more or less.

Flatpaks and snaps are a thing, really. Both improving all the time too.

Completely desagree. Any human being will be able to right click on the Appimage file, select properties and mark the file as executable.
It just works.
I wouldn't say flatpaks or snaps are more secure than Appimage. If the security depends on the developer, the same security issues are in all package methods.
Also, snaps are bounded to Canonical, which is annoying, flatpaks are too big, it like hundreds of MB for a 5 MB app.
Also if you are on a distro that hasn't it pre installed, you have to go to the terminal and type some commands which is not trivial for newbies.
Also with Appimage it's very easy to keep different versions of the same app and you can even get some in a USB stick and run where you want. It's more convenient and less painful.

I'm good with Firefox. I just don't trust in Chrome or this new Microsoft Browser.

Quoting: PatolaFor people who have this game, how does it compare to Distance [External Link] [Linux native] and Redout [External Link] [proton]?

Distance is superior.
It's a nice game, it's sad there isn't so much people playing it, I should check it out again.

Quoting: KohriasMight help these console amateurs to get a bit better :) Does not even come close to keyboard + mouse.

You are wrong. I played a lot of ranked games in Dota 2 before and a lot of other players recognized me as a good player.
