I am not a gamer, and have never used Steam, or similar services. I play FreeCell and Mahjongg sometimes, and sometimes use the flatpak version.
I stumbled upon the Athenaeum game manager today in Gnome Software, and out of boredom installed Athenaeum and installed thirteen free games using its menu, and played one. I do not quite understand the idea behind the developer's project. I assume it is still in a prototype phase. The only repo that it gets games from is Flathub. Right ?? with tentative plans to add future other flatpak repos ?? However, the installed version said it was the Fedora flatpak. So I do not understand all that. To scroll down or up while in the Athenaeum window, hold down the left mouse button and then move around ( I have a trackball, and that worked ). >From what I can tell, the app or service list a lot of detailed info that is not easy to find without doing some additional research. It seems to be well designed, with a fancy logo. Feel free to enlighten me about this service. It seems to have all the free Gnome and KDE games, and other games that are in Flathub. I guess it would be easier for someone to find a game they have never heard of here, than navigating through all the apps on Flathub. It puts the game icons on the Gnome screen, and then I just moved them to a game folder. If I wanted to play the game, I would just click on the game folder or use the Gnome search bar, as trying to play it from Athenaeum, requires clicking on Library and then clicking on game, and then clicking on play. I guess if I could someday talk to it, and just say "Athenaeum, play Mahjongg," that might be cool. David Locklear
