What are your thoughts on community maintained or official AUR packages/flatpaks for GNU/Linux support in the future? #93

It's fine if you don't want any third parties maintaining packages. I understand that it could open you up to unwanted bug reports, among other issues, and it also poses a potential security risk. Whilst an AUR "*-git" package would just automate the build and install, flatpaks ship binaries.

A good example of a project with similar goals to OpenStarbound that has a flatpak and arch package is OpenMorrowind (OpenMW), which like OpenStarbound, requires you to provide your own game data files.

anyway, Just asking :)

That sounds cool - I haven't really touched Flatpak as I'm a Windows user, so any help with that would be appreciated!

Considering starbound works better for me on linux, and openstarbound works even better just on windows... it'd be a GODSEND

lol, the last time i tried the Starbound native linux version it disabled my X display.

Speaking of the native linux port, does OpenStarbound support Wayland?, it is the future of the linux graphics stack after all.

Another vote for Flatpaks. 🙂👍️ I like them for easy installation of third-party software in my buntu systems (Kubuntu & Ubuntu MATE 22.04 still with Xorg atm, I plan to upgrade them to 24.04 after the first point release this month). And I also never had any problems running Starbound or* OpenStarbound in Linux so far.

I don't have any experience packaging flatpaks, but I might be experimenting with a PKGBUILD for a -git package soon.
