I use Figma (a UX design tool). It has browser support but I prefer the native app experience, I’ve seen there are Linux versions on GitHub but I heard they have some compatibility or performance issues sometimes and I need it to be 100% reliable as it is for work.

Figma has an unofficial Flatpak version available, which is a wrapper for the web version so I can’t speak for how well it works but it might be worth to give it a try on your Steam Deck? Just search for “Figma” in Discover when on desktop mode.

SMB works on all operating systems, my server runs on Linux and Kodi also runs on Linux. (NFS is also supported)

Do you use the plugin mode (access via HTTP) or the direct mode (access directly via SMB)?

Music libraries are a mess in plugin mode.

Still not the best UI in the world but it’s the only Jellyfin player I found that can do seamless refresh rate switching, HDR playback, audio passthrough and has no issues with high bitrate 4k60 hardware decoding.

Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin also works really well. With LibreELEC or CoreELEC it can also be installed as a locked down kiosk client.

I was not able to get HDR working in Flatpak, neither through Wine Wayland nor through gamescope.

So if you manage to do it let me know. :D

gamescope is a mess inside of Flatpak as of right now. Some issue with using Proton inside of gamescope inside of Flatpak.

I played Alan Wake 2 using the native Heroic version and native gamescope.

The gamescope version still needs to be pretty recent. After starting the game make sure its brightness does not change when you play with the SDR intensity slider. If it does, it’s not using HDR.

Also, Alan Wake is a pretty bleak looking game in general so you might want to pop some flares to bring some color for testing.

I have been eyeing it for a while, does anybody know what media playback looks like with this?

I use CoreELEC on an Odroid N2+ and I’m wondering if all the media playback works like 4k60 HEVC, 4k60 VP9 and HDR playback.

I’m aware, signing the package is not the same thing as signing the code. The application is built by the package maintainer(s) and then the resulting packages are signed.

Which is the same thing that Flatpak does. Both depend on the trust for the repo owner and the package maintainer.

Neither does dnf/apt/pacman. You are always at the mercy of the package maintainer(s).
