Heroic is great. Bottles has the potential to be great but it needs umu, and I'm skeptical about them rewriting the project (rewrites are seldom a good sign of a FOSS project in my experience).

Yeah I really enjoy Heroic. I moved to it when Lutris had a bug a couple years ago (hell, might be still in there) where it would flood my DNS server with over 1000 queries in under a second. It took me 2 weeks to really notice what was happening because as soon as it happened, suddenly I had no internet. At the time I was on Pihole which has a default flood control built in.

I kept going down a rabbit hole of researching Linux network problems, tried a dozen fixes, kept happening. Had to be very thorough and pay attention to what I was actively doing/using when it happened.

"Downside" of Heroic is I no longer have Ubisoftsupport. Also, fuck Ubisoft anyhow.

They already re-written it, or did they say they're going to re-write it?

[–] versionc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

They're in the process of doing so, and they're a long way off from being finished. Frankly, I doubt we'll ever see a release.
