    I prefer rpm over flatpak. at least I know any os dependency updates are happening regularly, flatpak may not get weekly dependency updates from proton

      Its kinda annoying for anyone not on debian or fedora (and derivatives) though.

        I’m on OpenSuse which will take a Fedora RPM, and most will take deb, if they don’t you can uae the alien tool to convert it for your OS…extra steps which sucks

          OpenSUSE does not have Fedoras ABI or package names. The RPMs aren’t compatible.

          This one might work as its just Electron.

            I installed it and it works. i have also installed other Fedora RPMs. RPM can contain repo links to dependecies needed. or just contain all the libraries needed. OpenSUSE will install it and just treat them as Orphaned Packages (in the later case)
