Reply to Re: Dink Smallwood HD: Native Linux (and Mac) Port – Collaboration & Testing

Hey Seth and Dink community!
Now that Dink Smallwood HD is fully working on Linux (thanks to the Flatpak!), I was wondering:
1. Could we get an official Linux version on GOG? (Since GOG already supports Linux, this would be huge for visibility!)
2. OR… what about creating FlatSoft?
FlatSoft would be a Flatpak-based store for RTSoft games (and maybe other application developers), with:
Paid/proprietary apps (unlike Flathub, which only allows FOSS).
No AI restrictions (as long as the game or app works, who cares how it’s made?).
Full control over updates, pricing, and distribution (no Flathub bureaucracy).
Flathub is too restrictive (they’re blocking everything with AI, even human-reviewed code).
A dedicated Flatpak store for Dink (and future RTSoft games) would give us freedom + monetization.
The Linux community is hungry for native games, and Dink HD could lead the way!
I’d be happy to help set it up (hosting, docs, testing). What do you think?
P.S.: If FlatSoft becomes a thing, we could even add other classic games.
