Anybody else having issues with Resident Evil games recently?
I think you are using Steam Flatpak, right? In which case, you're hitting this bug. These games use Microsoft's Media Foundations, and the videos can't play because the proprietary codecs are missing.

Do you think Fedora Silverblue the future of Fedora?
The major issue people are having right now is also why Silverblue isn't the "present" of Fedora - namely, Flatpak still has some missing features which lead people to install RPMs instead. RPM-OSTree is a crappy experience for package management - but the solution will be in Flatpak's continuous improvement. Regardless, I have only layered Chrome (and the Fedora Workstation Repositories that provide Chrome) and otherwise I've found that Flatpaks work fine (Steam works fine with the right Flatpaks - just install the community Proton flatpak).

PaV trying Linux and I think he made a good video and was very honest so I thought I'd share
It seems that he is using the version of Proton that is installed from Steam and that is why it gives him failures, he has to use the version of Proton Flatpak if you use Steam Flatpak.

Everyone talks about anti-cheat, but what about Media Foundation?
They are fixing MFPlat. Transcoded videos are a fallback. They had a built in local transcoding option (media-converter) but that got dropped as it was causing issues. They are working more towards using local gstreamer/ffmpeg support so they don't have to distribute the codecs. Because there are issues with Codec's and patent blocking and stuff.

Proton just simply doesn't work and I don't even know where to start debugging
If you are running steam via flatpak you need to use this version of proton for anything newer than 5.10

New Flatpak release fixes running new Proton versions inside Flatpak/Steam
Proton 5.13 introduced sandboxing using Valve's pressure-vessel that wouldn't stack with Flatpak. Users had to install one of the Proton community builds from Flathub (Proton, Proton-Experimental, Proton-GE) or stick with older upstream releases.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

No, it looks like you have to do it on an application basis.

Flathub – The Linux App Store
> CLI tools do not implement auto-complete themselves. What you are seeing are auto-complete scripts for your shell that make network connections.
nit: This is incorrect. Robust auto-complete scripts call the actual program to provide completions.
That is what Flatpak does. It is Flatpak itself that makes the network connections.
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/blob/main/completion/flat...
Not that it would make any differencen if it was implemented in Bash seeing as the Bash script is also provided by Flatpak.

Linux Phones (2022)
The only performance impact I know of is with the seccomp filter in CPU-bound tasks: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187
Skimming through the recent comments, there might be a way to optimize some of it.
What are some alternatives?
