An AppImage is not good for you I assume?
I installed it from the AUR on my side. :heart:
It is not available on Manjaro repositories, only the old project called emulationstation (without -DE, be careful, it is not the same project, it is an old one and is no more maintained).
But if you enable aur packages in Manjaro, you can install it.
see dat hassle again? why cant there be a simple snap or flatpak fo normal ppl

Developer of Deadnaut: Signal Lost requests Linux testers

Quoting: SamsaiI tried it quickly on my Fedora Silverblue 37, my full PC info is naturally in my profile.

I was positively surprised that the game ran even without me applying any containerization to it. Often tarballed binaries require some libraries that aren't installed on the base system of a Silverblue install, but this one seems to not need any. That gives a fairly strong indicator of cross-distro compatibility. I also ran it via Lutris on the Flatpak runtime and it executed there too, so people who run their Steam via Flatpak (like many do on Silverblue) should not have issues with it either.

There were only two notable issues I ran into.

First one is a minor issue that the game cannot necessarily be faulted for, which is that the game takes long enough on initial load without reacting to signals from GNOME for it to trigger the "Application is not responding" pop-up. It's not really a big deal because that happens with plenty of games and I'm not sure if Unity will allow anything to be done about it anyway. Regardless, people on GNOME generally aren't going to be too surprised by this and it's not going to be any sort of a deal-breaker. If it can be fixed though, then that's all the better.

Second issue I ran into was a weird one. Basically, if you mash escape while the game is starting it apparently doesn't load into the main menu and instead gets stuck. I repeated this a few times and I seem to be able to reproduce it consistently. If you don't touch escape during start up the game loads into the main menu without issues.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the game looks pretty cool! Kind of a blend of Jupiter Hell and Duskers, very atmospheric. Will be checking it out further on release for sure.
Now this Silverblue Fedora seems interestin, i take it that all in it is sandboxed such as in Ubuntu Core
