thanks for posting ! I bought one online last night . where did you get that majoras mask plate ? <| sep |> yep confirm it happens to 2 guys expect me in one minute <| sep |> That ' s not what I meant there . GOG used to offer their games in . deb packages before they moved to . tar . gz . Nondeb users had to extract the games from the . deb package with deb 2 targz . In a similar fashion anyone not using flatpak for whatever reason would have to resort extracting flatpaks . I see , and of course you can extract their contents just as you can with other formats , but unlike those other formats flatpaks are universal like tarballs so you won ' t need to . When it comes to GOG installers . For . desktop files launchers shortcuts or whatever , you could tell it not to add those files of course . Normally with most package managers , they don ' t give you a choice , or perhaps there is a command line option to prevent them from creating those shortcuts . That ' s because they usually come up with ways to leave your system fairly uncluttered . But yes , adding an option is certainly something those systems could have in them , and they could simply extend those options to flatpak packages too . It ' s all open source , no biggy . D looking at you Kate eyerollHaha , yes KDE is an even bigger dependency tree , but I thought Qt was more flexible and less rigid and demanding dependencywise than Gnome , but I could be wrong . Either way , with flatpak you could have the dependencies for several different versions of KDE and Gnome apps all installed at the same time , or you could force them all to use the same runtime if they are available in order to not need as many runtimes . Flatpak seems to have options for forcing stable , dev , or other builds , among other options , it ' s pretty neat .
