SteamOS has been out on Steam Deck for 18 months, but still no general release in sight. I wouldn't hold my breath. I think we'll just have to continue to make do with the likes of ChimeraOS/Nobara.

If you think about it, any developer could have their account hacked and the attacker upload an APK that includes malware. Obtainium isn't doing any malware scan or building from source or anything. If you are planning to just install from GitHub anyway, Obtainium should be a no-brainer. But I can see where might argue that having a middleman like F-Droid to validate APK integrity has some merits.

I don't even know why that video is there. At first glance, you might think it's a video explaining how Obtainium works. But it's actually a video about how to manually set up an RSS feed of the apps you use from GitHub. This video is just what had inspired the developer to make Obtainium.
F-Droid installs an APK that F-Droid compiled. Obtainium installs an APK that the app developer themselves compiled. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Thunder keeps improving day by day, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
This fact makes it hard to pick a favorite at this point. Thunder used to be my favorite out of the bunch, but I have been enjoying Liftoff the most the past few days. I agree, we should keep checking out each app periodically before settling on anything.
The F-Droid page for any app has a Links section under the app description. Expand that, and the Source Code link is usually the GitHub (or whatever) link you want for the app.
As for update notifications, you set the "Update Checking Interval" in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app's GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.
Sure, it makes sense to post steam to the Steam sub, fucking to the fucking sub, etc. but why Jon?
And to see if there is a bang already for a website you use often, use !bang lemmy or whatever to see the list of !bangs for that site
If this is from website hits, then people like me are going to be unintentionally skewing things in Windows's favor, as my browser always fingerprints as running on Windows.
