i would prefer linux improvements over mac tbh but hey im biased. apple essentially killed a lot of older games that were ported due to the removal of all 32-bit libs/executables

CCharlieBros Yeah... no, thing is, different programs need different specific configurations ...

I'm aware of those. I just want something that creates separate prefixes automatically like Steam. Not myself to configure those every time I want to use something.

Create a prefix, copy that app into that long flatpak .var file location because it does not like anything outside of it's sandbox, even if enabled in permissions.
Than import desktop shortcut manually for that app. Install Visual C++, DirectX 9, .NET Framework & other things. Than you have it working.

Steam Common Redistributable is something it's needed for Bottles, Lutris & others imo.

I want that to be automated as much as possible.

Ttermdisc I don't think Epic will be making moves for EAC on Mac support any time soon

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 8:59 PM

I mean, they threw their tantrum after the lawsuit, they removed support for Rocket League before that, and then killed Fortnite for Mac after that, so yeah, no shot

Well, let's be honest, the reason there's eac linux support is because Valve released the steam deck and it became an absolute hit, and that's a big new market to tap on

termdisc•1/5/24, 9:00 PM

EAC Linux support existed before the Deck

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:01 PM

Oh, really? Interesting

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:02 PM

When I was a heavy linux user I only played lol, paradox games and some indies, so I really never cared about EAC until fall guys and apex dropped, and by then I started to use windows again

termdisc•1/5/24, 9:02 PM

Sweeney moves the goalposts with respect to the Deck. last public statement was "tens of millions" of sales needed

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:05 PM

That's kinda what Bottles and Lutris does, it would be neat as you say, that they detect what you are trying to run, look up the recipe automatically and then does all the work for you, but as far as I know, there isn't anything like that right now, besides Steam, which at the end does what Lutris does, use recipes, and even then it's not quite automated because for some games you need to change the proton version, etc

Oh god, taskbar in the left side? I would hate that

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:07 PM

You know, I just realized why I like the MacOS UI too much, it works kinda like GNOME 3 or even GNOME 2, one bar at the top, one at the bottom, you can also get hot corners, etc

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:07 PM

I'll definitely use GNOME when the time comes, 100%

have you tried the hot edge extension?

KKyle Gospo have you tried the hot edge extension?

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:08 PM

I don't have another computer other than my mac

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:08 PM

but I fondly remember using hot corners when I did have a pc with linux

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:09 PM

I had a screenshot hot corner, a note taking hot corner and a show me all apps corner

CCharlieBros I don't have another computer other than my mac

Kyle Gospo•1/5/24, 9:09 PM

makes gnome behave far more like OSX

funnily enough, since Ventura, you have a note hot corner

termdisc•1/5/24, 9:13 PM

mac hot corners are also configurable

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:14 PM

Yes!

termdisc•1/5/24, 9:14 PM

I use one corner for the current app's windows and another for all apps

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:14 PM

I have to set up one to open launch pad

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:14 PM

but like, to run any app I use spotlight, so yeah, there's that

CharlieBros•1/5/24, 9:15 PM

It's funny because in the iPhone I organized all the apps in neat folders, but any time I'm gonna run an app, I just do a swipe down and look for it on spotlight
