Proton 6.14 GE-2 and Wine 6.14 GE-2 are out, easily update Proton GE with ProtonUp

Quoting: jrtWhat do I need ProtonUP for? There is an AUR package that updates proton-ge with normal system updates and you could probably do the same with a deb/rpm repository. I don't like a separate tool to update individual components. I'm a strong believer in the benefits of package managers.
Arch installs ProtonGE to /usr while ProtonUP installs it to ~/.steam

Quoting: CatKiller... but I could see the anti-cheat vendors insisting on a solution that only works on Valve's Proton - signing keys or whatnot ...
Or kernel module.

I wish my Steam Controller had a D-pad...

Quoting: Sojiro84Ahh, I was expecting an actual theme, but seems it's just some changed colors.
No, it is actual theme.

There's now a Debian User Repository in the style of the Arch User Repository

Quoting: Nibelheim- It doesn't really support Debian, but Ubuntu and the author consider it "the same" (watch out for names and versions of dependencies which may not be the same between Debian and Ubuntu).
Even Debian has 3 different versions (4 with oldstable) with different versions of libraries. I wonder how these PKGBUILDs will manage this?
(Arch has 2 versions + Manjaro, but they differ very little)

Arch has 1 version since 2017, i686 support stoped. And before, the only difference was just 64 bits libs wasn't accessible to 32 bits Arch. Otherwise, everything was same (packages name etc...)

Manjaro is not Arch. Manjaro use his own repositories. Like Ubuntu is not Debian.

AUR has no Manjaro support. If something is not working on Manjaro, never ask about a fix to an AUR packager...
I meaned 2 versions: stable and testing.

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääWhat about the security aspect as some instances are pushing these "convenient" ways to install stuff? The authors of these packages cannot automatically be trusted and confirmed, so on. The software pulled from this "Arch style repo" are not sandboxed like snaps and flatpaks can be
You can (and have to) manually read the PKGBUILD before installing.

Talking point: what have you been playing recently?

Some wads for Doom with GZDoom as always, also some clicker/idle games.
