This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux_gaming

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • firejail

    Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf sandbox

  • If you are or were using PulseAudio mind https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/firejail#PulseAudio and https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3282

  • Flatseal

    Manage Flatpak permissions

  • I believe it does. As an example if I try running Godot from the Steam flatpak, it won't be able to see any of the contents of my ~/Projects folder unless I explicitly allow the steam flatpak access to that directory that via flatpak's CLI options or using Flatseal

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
