RIP our wallets 😓

LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won't even use that crap themselves.

If you're only going to pick Pop!_OS or Manjaro, I'd suggest you go with Pop!_OS. The Manjaro team has been very weird, and made some poor decisions in recent years. I've had a very good experience messing around with Pop on an Nvidia GPU.

Fr. Had me thinking ASUS Motherboards. Really had me going there😅

Yes. It means we have better compatibility with DirectX shaders on Linux. It enables a unified shader development workflow across platforms. Developers can focus on HLSL without worrying about different shader languages for Windows and Linux.

I'm still in shock how quickly they have progressed.

Too bad I'm on Linux.

I personally prefer to use Flatpaks over traditional packages because of the added security, sandboxing, and overall convenience of not having to deal with dependency hell. It's especially nice being able to have proprietary applications sandboxed from the rest of my system without worrying that Steam is snooping on my 'super-important-tax-documents'.

Flatpaks are also very useful for having up-to-date packages on distros like Debian, and it's derivatives. People can still use their preferred distro without having to worry about not getting a certain update, feature, bug fix, etc, for their applications.

Being able to restrict what applications have access to is a game-changer for me. A lot of times Flatpaks, by default, have very lenient permissions, and with the use of Flatseal I can restrict it to my liking. Worried about Audacity's telemetry?? Turn network permissions off. Now, not all applications will work well (or at all) without internet connectivity, but for applications like Audacity, it works great!! Flatpaks can also be very useful for developers.

That's not to say that Flatpaks are without their fair share of issues. Are they bloated?? Yeah, and although it's not an issue for me, it may be for some people. Desktop integration is, meh. Themes, and fonts don't always integrate the best. (A while back there were issues with Flatpak's sandbox, but I won't touch on that because I need to refresh my mind on it, and it was actively being developed to fix those issues so it possibly isn't even an issue anymore.)

Overall I think Flatpaks are absolutely wonderful.

The Citra team is the same team behind Yuzu, so yes they are both gone. It's a sad day today.

You should be fine. Yuzu checks the Github repo for updates which is now down. If you're still worried you could download it via Flathub and disable network access via Flatseal or terminal.

As of right now, both Citra and Yuzu are available via Flathub!!! Get them now if you don't have it!!!
