Flatpak is what allowed me to distro hop while still using some great apps that were not in the distro repos

Flathub is almost the perfect distribution system for software on Linux. The only thing it's missing is a billing system. If it had that, it would probably attract more game developers to make their games available as Flatpaks.

Nice but weird that Lutris and Heroic are classified as a game unlike Steam which correctly is a game launcher

OccasionallyFeralya@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 1y

A lot of these appear to be game launchers to be honest

Minecraft is also just, fine? If anything needs to die it's Roblox, and that's not yucking other's yum, that's because it's genuinely causing a lot of harm as per People Make Games' investigation.

Every single time i heard any news about minorcraft it has something to do with a pedophile influencer who got exposed for something. The dots are there, people just refuse to connect them. Also isnt shmok or whoever the guy who created it a nazi?

how can I get my emulators to see the same files on Fedora after a reboot? I use Syncthing to keep my saves on a few machines, but after each reboot I have to go in and set the folders up because the user folder path has changed.

Otherwise flatpaks seem perfectly chill to me

If only they weren't flatpaks. Ask a release engineer about importance of artifact validation and single source of truth if you don't know why that's a risk.

WbrJr@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 1y

Im not in this field, but the risk is that flatpak can be distributed by anyone? But flathub provides validated Tag for entities provoding trustworthy flatpaks, no?
