Alright. Thank you!

Interesting. Can you help me understand the logic here?

The gist is probably:

• If you just want it to work: grab it from Debian’s own repos.
• If you desire sandboxing with both its positives and (potential) negatives: grab it as a flatpak
• If you desire a more up-to-date package: grab it as a flatpak

With a lot of sorrow in my heart, I have to admit it’s true. Bottles was SO good and clearly ahead of the curve just a couple of years ago. But the main dev had interests elsewhere. And, eventually, it became this mess. I hope Bottles Next will succeed at sparking their interest over a longer period of time.

Even if that were the case, you wouldn’t find many Lemmy users promote piracy from cool sources like GOG, Steam and other legit game devs like e.g. Team Cherry.

Furthermore, if anything, Lemmy is more privacy-oriented and anti-slop. And while the tankie-culture is present, I would not say it’s anti-corp necessarily. And definitely not against supporting earnest (game) devs.

I think there’s almost consensus on piracy being bad. I don’t want to tarnish my otherwise fine-ish ‘credibility’.

I think you intended to adress @Jozzo@lemmy.world. Sorry for the ping, btw.

FWIW, I think they’re afraid I might hook you up to something bad: ask you to click/download unsafe stuff, etc. I think their concern is legit. But, as I said earlier, I’m just channeling you to known resources.

I just channel them to existing resources. Do you think I’d openly contribute to piracy with my main account?

You should have received it yesterday. I will send it again…

See your inbox…

Why isn’t this higher?

I used to be a huge shill for Linux-first vendors. But after having a ThinkPad of my own, I’ve been converted. Best Linux experience by far.
