There's nothing truly wrong with Flatpak, but I like the increased performance of the repository software so I removed whatever I could and put in the equivalent RPMs. I was prompted to do so when I found out that getting Windows games to work in Steam on Linux is easier using the native version. Red Dead Redemption 2 already runs perfectly so I will have to get around to completing it once I get bored of playing NHL 25 on the console. -- Andrzej (Andre) Matuch Telegram: @AndrzejMatuch
