[Solved] which is a better way to install OpenMW on Lubuntu?

[argonvegell]

Via flatpak

Code: Select all

flatpak install flathub org.openmw.OpenMW

Or via PPA:

Code: Select all

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openmw/openmw
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install openmw openmw-launcher

Which is a better way to install OpenMW? PPA or flatpak and why? What is the difference between installing via PPA or flatpak? Also, how does one update OpenMW via flatpak? Thanks.

PPA, definitely. Those come from us, I'm not sure where the flatpaks come from. It's always best to use the main/default/built-in software distribution mechanic for whatever distribution you are running. For *buntus that's going to be apt, so that means PPAs.

Thanks, so PPA it is then.
