Signal is included as Flatpak. You have to enable “untrusted Flatpaks” (or whatever the wording is) in the Software Manager settings.

It was a controversial thing Mint added not long ago. Discussing this in detail would derail the post though.

One of the forums regulars, Pjotr, made this website exactly for questions like that: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/1.html

–> see “B. Right after the installation of Linux Mint”

Why not give a clickable link that works for all instances like the other 2?

What do you mean Keepass doesn’t work? https://keepassxc.org/ comes as Flatpak.

You are not giving them your details. Heroic Games Launcher is open source, you can verify their explanations in the FAQ:

"Does Heroic collect my data, username, or password?

No, Heroic is a privacy-centered application and does not collect any data from your computer or device. It does not collect your username, password, or any other personal information. You will login on the official Epic Games Store or GOG website and then Heroic will keep only a token that serves only to list, download and to launch games from those stores."

I’ve played Control using Heroic and it worked great.

Subnautica works for me on days like these. It’s atmosphere, the clever design of how to explore more of the story and the constant danger. I also really like the ending, but I won’t say more about that, cause spoilers.

Bazaar lacks some basic functionality like update notifications and doesn’t integrate so well with KDE.

I wonder if people opt-in or not?

Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said “I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I’m still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying.” So there’s not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

I can’t watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn’t matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn’t to your liking.

Of course you can, why wouldn’t you? It’s Fedora Kinoite with added stuff for gaming. There is a special edition for devs in the making, in case you’re interested in keeping an eye on that: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introducing-the-bazzite-developer-experience-alpha/7342/64

I doubt that would help, sadly. There is SO MUCH advice out there already, but people always think they are special and have a very rare and complicated use case.

For me both have their use cases. Heroic is my go to for GOG and Epic games and everything else not Steam (e. g. old Windows install files that I still have lying around). EA App only ran for me on Lutris until one day it didn’t. Then I tried with Bottles and it worked ever since. Not trying to add more confusion, but for some people Bottles has a more intuitive interface than Lutris.

Why not test Secureblue instead of Silverblue?

EA App works great with Bottles. I haven’t tried Ubisoft Connect myself, but the website says it works on a “gold” level - so might have some problems.

You can use the Bottles installers for that: https://docs.usebottles.com/bottles/installers Here’s the list of all apps they have preconfigured: https://usebottles.com/appstore/

Well, these launchers can be a bit confusing at first, but you will get used to all that. And if you still have questions, that’s what the community is here for.

You can select GE-Proton in Heroic under “Wine Manager”.

Most games simply work for me in Heroic but sometimes I have to try a few versions until it’s working properly.

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE

And here’s KDE’s: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/design
