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.

Paid apps are in the works right?

This would be really great.

Commercial applications and a donations framework.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] OccasionallyFeralya@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

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

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

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.
