M.A.M.E. (for "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator") is a libre and multi-platform emulator, single-player / multi-player (up to 10 in hotseat, with several gamepads), of arcades machines and of a large number of game consoles, microcomputers and other calculators (since the absorption of its sister project called M.E.S.S., for "Multi Emulator Super System"). The objective is to faithfully reproduce the functioning of arcade games and systems in order to preserve the history of video games and thus avoid that certain titles sink into oblivion. It has a graphical interface and can work in command line. The content is huge (several tens of thousands of games) and of very high quality. Most of them are commercial and require the ROM of the game + the ROM of the emulated game machine (e.g.: neogeo).

The UI with a strategy game. The central part is occupied by a map divided into hexagons with pixelart units. The period is medieval, several Mongol units & a trebuchet surround a castle in the center. The units have an icon for easy understanding (mongol, sword, trebuchet, ..), slightly transparent when not selected. The Mongol on horseback on the right of the castle is selected. The castle (named Elephantine) seems to be under siege. On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button.

UnCiv is a ~ libre (icons: CC BY-NC-ND 2.0), multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good !

The atmosphere is nevertheless quite dark, and magical artifacts (vials and shiny objects on the beach, and mana indicators on the UI) remind us that this is no ordinary world. On the left, a captain straight out of a fairy tale waits by what looks like a combination hot-air balloon basket and gallion wood lookout.

Nox is a class-based action-RPG game (Warrior, Druid or Wizard) released in February 2000 with similarities to Diablo. Jack - an ordinary guy, finds himself mistakenly transported with the orb he had taken for an ornament, on Nox, another world, by the summoning of Hecubah the Queen of the Necromancers. This orb should allow him to increase his power because it contains the souls of Necromancers imprisoned by Jandor - the hero who had silenced them. Jack lands by accident on Jandor's airship who offers to help him defeat her... OpenNox is an improved libre and multi-platform engine allowing to extend its functionalities (support of modern hardware, mods, ...) and to give life to this excellent game.

Who is going to pay for all of that extra work

All that "extra" work is already done. Who's paying them now? Not everything in life must always come with a financial benefit. This kind of thinking is a big reason as to why modern tech is such a hellscape.

Upstream developers can spend their own time, working around downstream limitations

Which they don't, which is why they don't want to cooperate with downstream maintainers and rather just bundle all their garbage into a #Flatpak and call it a day.

Or they can just ship a flatpak

They can, and you, the user, will have an inferiour and ridiculously insecure experience. It doesn't run on your PC? Tough shit, the developers don't care about you or your situation.

This is not a technical problem

I would agree here somewhat. The problem is the ridiculously low standards of developers these days, combined with a massive ego problem where everyone who can write garbage-tier Python or Javascript thinks they're a literal god for writing software.

What is relevant is that many of these projects are developed by volunteers,

Whether you are paid or not for low-quality software hardly matters. Doing it for free doesn't magically turn your code into a better quality version of it. The type of package is irrelevant to some degree, but the QA process around it most definitely is. You're arguing to completely drop any and all QA because those poor devs (who do it for free!) are being told to not fuck up all the time.

And they are the only ones who have a say in these decisions.

Sure, they can do whatever they want. But this will result in them being laughed at and never taken seriously, when they could just write better software and let the distro maintainers package it.

A good software repo is easy to package for maintainers, and such packaging is rarely done by the software developers of the package. You're somehow pretending that the software devs should also make all the packages for all distros which is simply not how packaging works most of the time. The distro maintainers do that, and they ensure a certain level of quality for all packages, so that the distro users are guaranteed that the software works well and doesn't do anything stupid (depending on your distro, of course). This is a good system that improves the quality of the software.

On the left, an area reserved for connections (a Virtual Keyboard) and plugins, listing these (Surge XT - a libre synthesizer, ACE Compressor, Bass21, LSP Graphic Equalizer, Fader) with stylized links representing their interconnections. Below, a few control buttons and a bar graph.

Ardour is a libre, multi-platform and mature professional digital audio workstation (DAW) for working with audio and MIDI. It allows you to record, orchestrate, edit, mix, and dynamically apply an unlimited number of effects (built-in or via plugins) to the user's musical compositions, with an unlimited number of tracks. It includes everything needed to record and design a complete musical composition, podcast, electronic music, sound effects or the soundtrack of a video clip (via the import of a video used as a timeline to synchronize the user's sound tracks - that just needs to be recorded with the video from the interface).

When the discussion about #Flatpak, #Snap and native packages on #Linux, my first intuition is to ask "who do I trust to distribute software to my computer". And in that question, the "Who" part for me means the organization and the rules by which that organization works, transparency, etc.

Based on discussions here, others have widely differing attitudes towards trust in software distribution.

I'm curious about yours!

@alwayscurious@infosec.exchange Sure, QA work is hard, but that's exactly why you want to keep the distro maintainers in the loop, they are a big part of QA. If you leave it up to upstream they'll do a piss-poor job for only their own machine, package it in Flatpak and call it a day. The distro maintainers are exactly the ones who will be telling them "yeah this isn't gonna work, you need to fix $whatever before I'm going to package this".

Everytime I look at #Flatpak (and similar systems like #Snaps or #AppImages) I am just confronted with low-quality garbage that no sane person would want.

I hate Flatpaks!

aaaaaaaaaaand all the issues with #beeper #flatpak is solved!

A very sober UI view (in a dark theme), with a sandwitch menu and a magnifying glass, and game covers, each with the game title.

Cartridges is a libre, multi-platform game launcher that relies on other launchers to launch all your games (Linux or not). In particular, it supports manual addition and editing of game shortcuts, game import from various sources (Steam, Lutris, Heroic, Bottles, itch, Legendary, Flatpak, RetroArch), game hiding, search and sort, automatic cover art download from SteamGridDB and other databases, and animated covers. A launcher that links all the others - what an excellent idea! A bug with the Itch store and a few missing features (support for repository games), otherwise it's beautiful and very pleasant to use. To try it is to adopt it!

Godot Engine is a high-performance, libre (very permissive MIT license, no hidden fees), multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine and IDE, extremely feature-rich with a vast set of tools, enabling the developer to create his multi-platform game from scratch without requiring any external tools other than the usual content creation tools (graphics and sound; it includes a tile map editor), and to concentrate on his game without having to reinvent the wheel. It also features an intuitive scripting language (GDScript, inspired by Python and other languages) and can be used with most programming languages.

Dear Santa, 🎅

A few years ago you brought me Flatpak and I love it so very much ❤️ :flatpak:

For Christmas this year I would like a Flatpak CLI for developers. 🧑‍💻

It would let me build, publish, lint, release, clean, debug, test, manage dependencies 📦

So that me and my friends can use our existing dev tools without having to deal with or implement new ones 🎁

Also to automate and streamline the submitting process

Thank you Santa

@BrodieOnLinux @nergal @AmyIsCoolz I think his main concern is valid about both #Flatpak and #Snap packages as currently distributed. The software are self-packaged by the developers, contrary to the distributions, where each distro decides what to package and how. Even Arch Linux, that says they just package stuff "as is", make some patches to stuff in their repos, and remove dubious stuff (or not even include in the first place).

• New icon
• Add drag & drop support
• New keyboard shortcuts
• Add labels for assistive technologies
• Improve support for high contrast
• Port to newer widgets
• Ellipsize text when file names are too long
• Add WebP support
• Transpose image (useful for photos taken by smartphones)
• New translations
• Add Vulkan checker

I also want to congratulate @gregorni and Matteo for being maintainers and helping out the project :)

Upscaler is available on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.theevilskeleton.Upscaler

A bird's eye view of a map with a camp/castle and huts on an island separated by a river from the rest of the continent. Three footbridges over the river allow access to the island. Other huts are located on the surrounding land, which seems to be quite dry (bare land and mountains predominate, with some forests).

The Battle for Wesnoth is a libre, multi-platform, single-player (AI) / multi-player (up to 8 in LAN / online) turn-based tactical strategy game with a high fantasy theme, in which the player recruits his troops to face powerful enemies, all in a very neat scenario. It is a mature game (nearly 20 years of development), very complete and of very high quality, offering several soundtracks, more than 200 types of finely detailed units, 16 races, 6 major factions, many campaigns and maps to download from the interface, and an editor.

@shabbir1 Yes. As a user, Flatpak gives me peace of mind about apps not affecting my system more than they need to, and using portals and proper APIs instead of messing directly with my system.

Since my replies are full of people missing the point (it's like a two-second meme is not nuanced!):

Of course I don't think #Flatpak, #Flathub, #FreeDesktop, etc. are evil. 😂

But we should be happy to use #SteamDeck as a way to get the cool stuff we're working on into the hands of millions of new folks. And we should be happy to use it as an example when talking to app developers we want to support #Linux.

Perhaps this is an alternative interpretation.

Do we have an implementation or even plan for apps on Linux to handle URL ownership? E.g. if I have a Flathub link and my app store has a Flathub remote, it would be neat to just pop me into the native app store. Or if I have a link out to matrix.to, it would be nice to just open it in my chat app directly.

I know we can do protocol-level stuff like apstream:// but I mean Android- and iOS-style link handling.

In fact, do other desktop platforms even do this?

Want to see #Electron apps on #Linux support autostart in a standard way like macOS and Windows, without developers having to write Linux-specific code?

We can make it happen! Linux uses Portals which abstract away the details and can be implemented in frameworks like Electron to be used the same way as on other platforms.

Any Electron app on Linux (like Discord, Bitwarden, Slack, etc.) would benefit from this work, whether running as a #Flatpak or not.

Other interesting facts:

- Bitwarden has over 700k installs from Flathub even though it's not yet verified

- Steam Deck is shipping Flathub as the default desktop app store to millions of people

- Devices, OSes, distros, and users can choose to filter their app store to only show verified apps

It just makes sense to get it verified, especially since it's coming from the official releases, anyway!

Do you use #Bitwarden? Do you also use #Linux or #SteamDeck?

The #Flatpak is a community effort, automated from the official release. That feels a bit off for your password manager; the thing that holds all your secrets.

A community post from 2021 asking them to maintain it only got 211 votes, 117 likes, and 46 comments but over 10k views. I and other #OpenSource folks commented and said we'd be happy to help, but never heard back.

Maybe give the post some attention?

Great article on @derStandard about #Flatpak (in German but translates well)

A new version of #Fretboard is out! This update brings support for viewing chord variants, bookmarking, smarter chord detection, and more! Download it from #Flathub: https://flatpak.app/fretboard

#gnome #adwaita #gtk #flatpak

Screenshot of Fretboard. A button with a bookshelf icon is located in the top left of the window, while the middle is occupied by an interactive chord diagram displaying the C major chord. Under the diagram is an entry with the chord name, and under there again is a star button and a button with the label "View Variants".

Screenshot of Fretboard's new chord variants view, displaying different ways to play a C major chord with a grid of chord diagrams.

Screenshot of Fretboard in dark mode, displaying the F major chord.

Screenshot of Fretboard's bookmarks view, showing a grid of chord diagrams with different bookmarked chords.

Since I’ve owned the https://flatpak.app domain for like six months, now, I decided to put it to use as an experiment…

You can now use it to link directly to apps or perform a search! As a start, I took a handful of the most popular apps to give them commonly-used shortnames; things like `firefox` or `steam`. An RDNN (like com.cassidyjames.plausible) will link directly to that Flathub page, and anything else will search Flathub.

Give it a try: https://flatpak.app/firefox

Accent colors are now a standard preference for Linux!

And endorsed by #GNOME, #KDE, #CosmicDE, #ElementaryOS, and #Budgie, at that!

I’m gonna dip my toes into volunteering as a Flatpak/Flathub developer advocate—basically, providing a human contact at a real company that can help larger apps/companies get their apps in front of Linux (and thus Steam Deck!) users.

What are some of the biggest apps you think are missing from Flathub—or for apps already there, which are the ones you’d like to see verified?

I know this is a long-shot, but does anyone have more specific contact details for Discord than their support email address? I’d like to chat with someone about getting it verified on Flathub (at least starting the conversation!), and I don know who to talk to there.

Flatpak fans - explain this to me. Why do my Flatpak apps not use the Flatpak theme I have installed and set? I've been fighting with this for years, and if I hear one more person tell me to "just install the Flatpak version of your theme" I'm going to the closest IKEA, buy a Billy, and light the flatpack it comes in on fire.

Quick hint for every #fedora user who wants to run the #signal #flatpak app in tray mode.
Add "--use-tray-icon" flag in the desktop entry file "org.signal.Signal.desktop" located "/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications"

It makes sense, now 😏

TIL LibreOffice has smooth 1:1 zooming with the trackpad, apparently new in the 7.6 update! 🎉

I don’t use it often, but that’s a great improvement. :)

@blacklight What would make you say that nobody liked snaps?

I am using #Debian on the desktop. As far as I am concerned, that's a great option not least because #flatpak and #snap packages are available.

Big thank you to the team maintaining the #Nextcloud snap, running flawlessly on a Ubuntu server near me for the past five years!

I honestly don't get it. If you really dislike snaps and #Ubuntu includes snaps, it should be very straightforward: use something else and tell us about that…
