Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.
I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.
I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.
The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.
But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.
If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.
It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.
Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.
edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that’s not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
edit2: now that I’ve had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I’m not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it’s impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.
Also, why do these replacement screens always insist on increasing the resolution?
The low res is one of the main reasons the Deck holds up as well as it does.
It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.
If you really care maybe try something like Tails.
I’m sure that’s not gonna get misused. /s
I’m not a fan of LLMs, but an app has absolutely no business deciding what input method I use.
This feels too similar to completely idiotic practice of blocking the copy-paste of credentials and disallowing password managers in certain apps/websites.
