I’m not an expert, but I thought on Arch you are specifically not supposed to use the discover store because it can cause partial updates which can in turn cause major problems.

However, the point still stands, pacman and the AUR are easy and have nearly everything.

You can use it for Flatpaks which works great for a lot of people.

Flatpak just working would be a nice thing. Everytime I try they fuck something new up…

(Last time I thought about installing Steam via Flatpak on Arch to get rid of all the multilib 32bit stuff not needed for aynthing else anymore it worked for nearly 4 days. Then flatpak -u randomly uninstalled its nvidia drivers because an “update” removing the old package first, then realizing it can’t find the new one make total sense of course.)

If I learned anything with Steam it’s to never install it as a Flatpak.

Yeah, I heard that several times but decided to try.

But I expected problems with Steam not with flatpak just removing the very same graphics driver it had just installed as a dependency…

Couldn’t for the life of me get the PCSX2 Flatpak version to use GPU acceleration even with Flatseal so I try to avoid flatpaks now lol.
