Epic Games launcher is no longer needed now that we have excellent Linux native replacement Heroic Games Launcher. Also Epic games can be played using Gog Galaxy on Lutris.

yeah but dont all using heroic game launcher (very good), in my case use one 64bit prefix for newer games and 32bit prefix for older games but without lutris

I wonder if we'll finally get stable hardware accelerated decoding for web in wine before native browsers.

I'm curious to see if Wine will start to progress quicker now that they're on Gitlab. Really hoping to see the Adobe software working without needing to get around the Creative Cloud login.

Here's important info which Alexandre has let me know recently in a private email.

Wine is now meant to be built using a combination of GCC + minGW. Native GCC builds might be flaky and not work properly.

I'm a little bit upset because,

dnf install mingw32-gcc

Normal user installs wine from distro repos and don't need developer dependencies.
Anyway 231MB isn't much for people needing it. SDKs are usually much more bigger.

Another poor troll attempt...

Another poor insult attempt.

• I file bug reports, I often need to debug it
• I don't need all the dependencies Wine is built with in my distro
• My wine build is a lot faster than what Fedora builds
• Fedora pushes new Wine builds with a 1-2 weeks delay

Won't see your junk messages any longer, thank you for letting me know who you are.

Then it makes even less sense.

Because if you don't need all this deps and you want to file bug reports, then you should use master(and possibly other) branch from git, not stable release.
And WINE git repo takes much more space than this deps. Even WINE solely takes much more space. So nothing adds and makes any sense...
