QuoteReleasing for Linux, day 1, is very important to Simply Puzzles. It's our operating system of choice, and if we can do anything to increase the user base, then we should. All our future games will also be compatible with Linux on launch.

I think I'll buy it just for that quote....

Quoting: iiariSo, Manjaro is actually going to sunset Bauh and now Flatpaks, the AUR, and Snaps will all go through Pamac. Do your Flatpaks respect system theming?

Well, that's certainly good news for me on bauh->pamac, as I primarily use pamac at the prompt for the lion's share of my package management. I really can't tell you about system theming, because I really don't pay that much attention to theming things.. as long as I can get my backgrounds dark, I'm not too worked up about much else..

Woohoo!

I'm loving the slow but steady adoption of Flatpak....

Great explanation, thanks. As someone who hated Snaps (and those plus unstable PPA's pushed me out of the Ubuntu ecosystem) I have a few questions for you:

1) How are Flatpaks with speed? Snaps were soooo slooooow to launch.
2) Is native theming reflected in Flatpaks?
3) If Flatpaks conquer all, what kinda is the point of different distros anymore? They really do become only theming and software selection boutiques. In the best case scenario, as with Manjaro, they develop their own unique apps and workflows.

Thanks!

If you're on Manjaro (or apparently a debian-based distro, although I haven't tried it there), you can install 'bauh' which is a frontend package manager that will let you install flatpaks (and snaps and appimages). I've installed a few and see no discernible difference in speed (and I don't think one should). Most recently I installed the 'cura' flatpak (3d printing slicer program), as I could not get any of its version in the AUR to successfully work and have data loaded for my printer. Its working great installed as a flatpak, so that has really boosted my appreciation of them.

The new single player campaign (potentially leading into multiplayer) sounds great to me. Its just what I potentially need before I would consider multiplayer (and getting my behind kicked).

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI love Manjaro but not enough to use Gnome ;)

I 2nd that... I've been rockin' Manjaro-KDE for several years now. No need to switch over to that yucky Gnome...

Quoting: rkfgMake it F2P,

100% of all so-called "free"-to-play games suck. As in all of them, no exceptions. Because all of them are designed to suck unless you dump more money into it than you ever would in an actual for-purchase game.

Why anybody still thinks FT2 is the solution is beyond me. In today's gaming business, it's the root of the problem.

Ummm..... Battle for Wesnoth?
