Re: [Trisquel-users] Want to play some games, best way to install (Trisquel 8)
Well, I would expect that the binary provided by a program creator who runs a Free Software project and does his best to provide everything under free licenses, would be a proper binary and free license compliant. But you are right :)

sudo pacman -Su --noconfirm libretro https://parabola.nu/groups/x86_64/libretro Run this on Parabola if you also have Parabola installed. For Trisquel you can also try to search for the same using, apt search libretro
Re: [Trisquel-users] Want to play some games, best way to install (Trisquel 8)
That surely correct, mr, Magique Bannanna, but it's also true that a binary is not free software, unless you can prove it is (this is meant for Gnuser)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Want to play some games, best way to install (Trisquel 8)
Not sure I follow you. Yes, building from source is a good option, but I wanted to avoid that, hence my question if PlayDeb is a good place to get Free Software games. Btw, Xonotic plays great in the pre-built binary ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Want to play some games, best way to install (Trisquel 8)
The best way is to compile from the source code or manually install the pre-built binary package from the project's site, even if the latest version of a game is available in the distribution's official repository. By doing so, you have more flexibility.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Want to play some games, best way to install (Trisquel 8)
Well, it seems like Xonotic DOES have a "portable" version, as in their homepage they say "just download extract and run". I will try it. However my question still remains for other games and programs, which ways do you prefer to get stuff not in the repos? PlayDeb? PPA? What else? I know building from source is also an option but I never get anything to run that way, lol, probably my fault. Prefer to just install things.
