Should I use the Appimage, Flatpak or the aur package for duckstation? I honestly hate the idea of using appimages/flatpaks and im not too fond of the aur package either.

Compile it from source.
Or man up and do whatever fucking works.
With flatpaks use flatseal and with appimages use firejail. Done.
>>
>>106752279
The appimage, that's what the developer mandates.
>>
>>106752279
i get not liking flatpaks but literally what is wrong with appimages?
>>
>>106752279
appimage is far better than flatshit,
it is literally the closest thing to a windows portable exe

don't compile it from source, it's just PS1 games,
even targeting basic X64 instructions gives good performance,

Interesting, I always thought appimages were at the same level as flatpaks. Also do I need a appimage launcher?
>>
>>106752279
Use the appimage

>>106752334
I think you have to mount it, like ISOs on Win

This is now non-free software. You cannot use it, otherwise you will officially be a /g/ tourist.
Swanstation is the latest free software commit for duckstation

>aur package
Isn't the aur package precisely the thing that sent Stenzek into a meltdown because it was broken and people were bothering him with issues specific to the aur package?
>>
>>106752279
appimage > nix package > flatpak >>>>>> your distro's package manager (yes you)
>>
>>106752334
Nah AppImages are really based. You just need libfuse installed and you can launch it like any other exe. The AppImage launchers just integrate it with the rest of your system, but they're optional.
>>
>>106752279
flatpacks are tricky, you can lose data with them.
>>
>>106752334
>Also do I need a appimage launcher?
If your distro is any good then you should be able to double click from your file explorer to launch it like you would any Windows portable app.
>>
I'm fine with Flatpak. I don't want to look up a website every once in a while for a Appimage update. Honestly, Duckstation needs to be taken away from Stenzek and his meltdowns, and no, fuck off with the Retroarch bullshit for Swanstation.
