    It’s also a vibecoded mess and they’re literally advertising it as such: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k6kg5ccozcphfcmp4zyx3s64/post/3mxtzp6xtwc2u

    Legitimately I’d suggest ditching it entirely, or at the very least removing any financial or personal info from your account, because this shit just screams “massive financial breach” in 3-6 months tops.

      Sounds like Epic achieved perfect feature parity with their Windows launcher.

    1.8x faster startup than Steam*

    1.2x faster from the background to your library than Steam*

    Yeah sure that’s definitely the problem with steam glad that Tim Sweeney fixed that for me, I’m so ready to ditch steam now.

    I hate marketing bullshit.

      *Average of 5 tests on each of 13 machines, excluding the 3 lowest-end machines tested.

      Is this normal??

    Aaaaaaahhhh Sweeny swine dude. How the turns tabled. He came back like the little bitch he is. 😂😂😂😂. And now since it’s way too late, watch no one from the Linux community touch this trash.

      100% agree, I don’t think I’ll ever use Epic store because of the way they decidedly sabotaged Linux in the beginning.

      All the exclusives are trash and the launcher performs like shit even on windows. Keep it. I don’t want it.

    Why not just download and upload image or do screenshot, instead photograph?

        I see. I thought the effect is some reflection, because it is blocked on my system. I’m sorry for the confusion.

          I agree it kind of looks like that, It’s an absolutely horrible screenshot, that was taken just as the worst screen effect was active.
          Seems like they’ve removed it too?

    Nb: Appimages are toxic. Ask a security person.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
