Yeah, I understand Linux gaming was not great until fairly recently. Heroic and Lutris have been around for a few years now as I understand it, though I admit I’m still new to the scene. Honestly though, in my experience, Steam still doesn’t just work in some cases, and I’ve admitted to myself that’s just going to be the Linux gaming experience. I check Proton DB before buying any game now.
It strikes me odd that Heroic doesn’t want to be available with apt, though! It’s even advertising that it is intentionally packaged in a way that duplicates pre-existing libraries – apparently to just take some extra place from my hard drive for fun?!
Doesn’t really wake much trust in them caring about how to use a computer’s resources. Whether one wants to be afraid of two applications sharing a library file or not should be left for the user to decide… And it’s not very nice that there an increasing number of ways applications can be installed, and these clever people are supporting that development… How am I supposed to have any overlook over what’s installed on my computer? This is starting to feel like Windows :(
I don’t really believe it’s very good for computer security that applications are installed without anything in the OS keeping track of whether they need security updates or not!
