If that’s the case then why don’t I have this issue with other flatpaks?

Edit: Never mind, I put the information in wrong. It’s working now. Although, I do feel as though I still shouldn’t have to do this.

Yes:

Yeah, as far as I’m aware, this is the only game I’ve played that has had this issue.

This is cool but unfortunately, I probably wont be able to use this. Right now, the only use for a VM I have is for games that I can’t get working in either Linux or Windows 10 and I’d need to run them in an older version of Windows. And seeing that this guide was only made for Windows 10, I’m not sure if there’s a single game I’d be able to use this for.

And yes, I am aware of both PCem and it’s forks, like 86Box. I have tried these and I was able to run some games in them but I’m having a very specific issue with one game. While I have no idea if that game would actually run well on my computer or even emulate properly, I can’t test the game because it’s ISO file is over 4 GB and I’m currently not aware of any version or fork of PCem that supports ISO files larger than 2 GB.

Multiple reasons. Performance issues, bloatware, bullshit system requirements, forcing unnecessary and often times useless features on it’s users, restricting how much control the user has over the OS, and a lot of smaller issues that just ruin the over all user experience.

While I will admit that Linux isn’t perfect, the experience I’ve had with Linux overall has just been so much better. There are also a lot of small benefits to Linux that Microsoft will never offer. For example, if you have a computer with an older GPU, not only will it still work with newer Linux distros, it may also support newer versions of OpenGL and Vulkan. The first computer I ever used Linux on had an Intel HD Graphics 3000, and on top of getting surprising performance on Linux compared to Windows, the supported version of OpenGL went from 3.0 to 3.3, which doesn’t seem like much but, at least at the time, a lot of applications had OpenGL 3.3 as their minimum required version.

As for why I didn’t use MacOS or ChromeOS. I’ve heard that MacOS is mostly fine but I’d have to buy a brand new computer to run MacOS and their computers are just too expensive for me. And as for ChromeOS, I am aware that I could have used ChromeOS Flex but in addition to the fact that it still has some of the issues I have with Windows, I have concerns about how much I actually be able to do with it. Google is very vague when it comes to explaining the differences between ChromeOS and ChromeOS Flex.

If ChromeOS Flex allows the use of android apps just as much as the main version of ChromeOS, then I do think that might be a good choice for people who want to drop Windows but don’t want to use Linux. I do have limited experience with ChromeOS because my mom owns a Chromebook and it seems fine and they are pretty cheap, but I’d imagine that most people don’t want to buy a new computer just for a different OS.

I mean yeah but after using Bazaar a little more, I realized that it would still have the same issue that I’m having with the website. If there are other apps that show Flathub’s catalog, I’d be interested in trying them but I never found any others last time I looked. As I’ve stated before, I don’t care too much about how it works, I just need to be able to reliably see every app that’s available. At the bare minimum, I’d except something similar to how Droid-ify works for F-droid (a third party app store for android), where I can set it to sort the apps by newest first and then scroll down to the last app I’ve seen and work my way up. It’s tedious but it works.

Actually yes, I have it installed already. It unfortunately doesn’t do what I’d need it to. For example, if you go to the games category in Bazaar, it’ll say that there is 701 apps but it only shows 96. But now, if you go to the Flathub website, it’ll also say that there is 701 apps but there are 24 pages with 30 apps each.

Also, if you are wondering why I’m not just using the website, I’ve mentioned it in the past but I forgot to add to my previous comment. Basically, the issue is that I’d have to go though every page manually and keep a spreadsheet of every app I’ve checked because the order that the apps are listed in changes occasionally.

They don’t have to be graphical but there are some things I can think of that I’d really like to have or see improved.

Some form of an app that will allow me to get the most out of Flathub. I know that I wont use every app that exists on Flathub but I would like to have some app that will allow me to at least see every app that’s available. I don’t care if it’s something as simple as just a list of every app in the order they were added, preferably sorted/sortable by oldest first and multiple pages to make it easier to find where I left off, or if it’s something more intricate, like a full app store experience with an app recommendation system that filters out apps I’ve already interacted with.

Something will allow me to get better use out of GameFAQs, I was thinking about something similar to Anime Plus but for GameFAQs. If you’re not familiar with Anime Plus, it’s a companion app for My Anime List that creates a temporary profile based on your MAL account and gives you a list of anime/manga that are missing from your account and gives recommendations for new anime/manga. If that’s not possible, similar to Flathub, I don’t care what is made for it. Right now, I’ve been using documents to keep track of everything but I noticed that this isn’t reliable because there is no way to be notified of when new games are added since games are only sorted alphabetically.

I feel like there are more things but I can’t think of anything else right now.

One Linux distro I’m aware of that might be worth checking out is Q4OS. It’s a lightweight distro that offers an older but still supported 32bit version.

Well, I know that I probably wont be buying anymore android devices and I know for sure that I’ll never buy an iOS device. But outside of that I’m not sure, I’ll have to wait and see how things play out. If possible, I’d like to be able to use Linux or at least custom versions of android but, as of now, most of my devices don’t have custom roms available and the two that do haven’t been supported in years. I have looked into Linux phones, tablets and other portable devices like the Steam deck and the Legion Go S but they are very expensive and there isn’t even a way for me to purchase some them.

I am also aware of ADB commands but I’ve never used them before. If they are easy enough to use without potentially bricking my devices, I am not opposed to using them.
