Attached: 1 image I've added a new card to the landing page of flathub.org yesterday, focused on games. We have been trying to do this for quiet some time and I know that the results (as in what is in which category) are not perfect, but putting this out there hopefully helps us move things. #linux #flatpak #Flathub #web #nextjs #tailwind #xdg #freedesktop

    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

      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.

    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

      There may be some fiddling you can do with Flatseal.

    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.

      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?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
