If you want me to segue into my issue with flatpaks in particular, I mainly just don't like dealing with all the runtimes that inevitably accumulate. It's just clutter to lose track of, a source of conflicting dependencies, I don't want that kind of mess. Not even because it would be hard to install, I'm sure it's quite easy. Don't get me wrong, it's nice they made a launcher, it's a good step, but unless I have a really compelling reason that's still not quite at the stage where I'm going to use a piece of software. But I'm not going to add a new, uncurated software source like Flathub to my software sources that might not play well with my existing stuff, and I'm not going to start messing with maintaining a bunch of separate software with separate downloads and launchers. So if some game's Steam package is actually a Flatpak, or my Software Manager installs a Flatpak, OK, cool. I don't have a huge problem with Flatpaks in theory-mild ambivalence, but not like hostility. Nowadays, if it's not in the Mint Software Manager (or on Steam) it's pretty close to might as well not exist, for me. Things finally got to where they Just Work and I can function while just paying attention mainly to very few sources that only require a click, and I have no interest in going back. I went through years of fiddling back in the day when there was no option, grinding through dependencies to finally get to the rpm I actually was trying to install. AppImages, Flatpaks, Snaps, all seem to be the current (unfortunate) hotness and all of them are sub-par compared to native packaging.Yeah. Probably it's because I'm using linux for some years, that I think that using the package manager it's easier than searching on internet for an installer, downloading it, executing it, and follow an assistant.Īgreed, system package manager any day of the week. ID=$(curl -s -H "Accept: application/3+json" | jq '.assets | map(select(.name="yuzu-x86_64.AppImage")).id')Ĭurl -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" -L $ID -o "$OUTDIR/Yuzu.AppImage"Ĭhmod +x "$OUTDIR/Yuzu.AppImage"This, and I would prefer using the distro package manager, it's easier.
