  From the looks of it the version most people use (the one that comes in package managers) was already forked awhile ago from the version the dev did allow to be forked, and the official version hasn’t been used in package managers for awhile, because the second version was under a read only license and distros therefore couldn’t package it.

  I’ve tried Junk Store and like it enough, but I feel it’s not good for the target audience.

  • The initial instructions don’t explain easily how to install it, and neither does the ad. I feel like this is crucial for people who both use a Steam Deck and want an easy to use all launcher.
  • The payment scheme. I think most of the Linux community (which is used to free software to start with though) would understand a developer getting some money, but I also think most hate subscriptions. You can keep them, but I think many wouldn’t mind a single time payment option that only gets updates up to a x.99 version, with having to pay again for a version 3.0 etc. Especially for this kind of software in particular.
  • It’s competing against Heroic Game Launcher.
  • The name could be better. Techies will get it, but more casual users might hesitate.
  • The AI art used on the website could be better if going that route.

  Nah, I just actually look up claims rather than taking them at face value, and live in Europe.

  So I decided to look up the article, and see what the defense was.

  Here’s the article: mediaite.com/…/Screen-Shot-2019-09-19-at-16.04.33…

  And indeed, it does seem to be a Vetements piece he’s wearing. I could not however find the exact outfit, but those are the Georgian designer’s signature, in Georgian letters, which can be compared here:

  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demna_(designer)

  In looking through some videos from that era, he is wearing multiple articles of clothing from Vetements which tracks. So it’s not a one off piece of clothing he was wearing from that company.

  As for the cross, it is a design used in Georgia, including on their traditional flags:

  And it is known as a Bolnisi Cross

  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolnisi_cross

  It is similar to the German iron cross, except the iron cross always has white or iron bolding, which the Bolnisi Cross does not

  (You can compare them in these search results: duckduckgo.com/?t=fpas&q=german+iron+cross&ia=ima…)

  He did give multiple apologies for using it tho and as far as I’ve known hasn’t used the word in many years

  Yeah but Bowser at least gives his subjects free healthcare. When have you seen a skeletoad?
