I didn’t consider that an option because whenever I searched for setcap and flatpak, most threads were pretty dismissive and told OP that flatpak is made with security in mind so doing that isn’t supported.
Regardless, I tried it just now, but the password prompt (image below) still shows up when launching the autostart .desktop file I created. The .desktop file launches a script I wrote, which in turn actually starts GSR through flatpak, in case that changes anything.
Do I assume correctly that this prompt might be gone if I set the capabilities of /usr/bin/flatpak? It’s not something I want to do, so I’ll probably keep trying to get the manually built version installed.
As far as I’m aware the only options to install GSR as a package are AUR/yay (not available on fedora as far as I understand) or flatpak (unable to resolve permission issue), so I do think a manual install is the best option. This is a gaming system so GSR breaking is no huge deal.
Thanks for the tips regarding manual installation! I did not know about -devel packages or about the dnf provides command. They will probably prove to be very useful!
I’ve been using linux for about 6 months now and recently been using arch as my main. I’ve done some customzations like changing fonts, background, keybinds, etc. But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps, cool animations....

How do I get rid of excessive password prompts, with the least amount of lost security?
I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows....

Do you pay for Discord Nitro? (lemmy.world)
I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.
