Faugus Launcher: version 2.4.2 released

Faugus Launcher, a game launcher for Linux for managing Wine and Proton games, has been released in version 2.4.2.

The update follows shortly after version 2.4.1 and now allows a custom color for the overview and background. The Flatpak build is now based on GNOME 51 and no longer depends on Wine, which makes it significantly smaller. It also fixes a regression that broke the “Stop” button on Flatpak.

  • Now disables automatic updates when disabling the runtime for Linux games
  • Added an option to select a custom color for the Overview and the Background
  • Fixed working directory missing when launching games through the system tray menu
  • Updated the Flatpak build to GNOME 51
  • Fixed a regression that caused the “Stop” button not to work on Flatpak
  • Removed the Wine dependency from the Flatpak build as it’s no longer needed. This significantly reduces the build size
  • Updated translations (German, Russian, Swedish)

Dependencies required for AppImage: pygobject gtk4 libadwaita libmanette
