Linux Visual Novel Manager: version 0.6.0 released

LVNM (Linux VN Manager) has been released in version v0.6.0.

LVNM is a tool for managing and launching visual novels on Linux with enhanced compatibility features.

This version brings a Flatpak release, a Windows version of the launcher and PC-98 emulation via RetroArch/NP2kai. Timetracking was also improved for KDE, GNOME (Wayland) and Hyprland.

  • Flatpak release: bundles everything the application uses except gamescope (32/64-bit gstreamer libraries, Japanese locale support, linux-rt-upscaler; ~500MB install size)
  • Windows version: new compiled Windows launcher with timetracking, Google Drive save syncing and emulation, but without Windows-specific features
  • PC-98 emulation support: retroarch/NP2kai core with automatic multi-disk detection, .m3u playlist conversion and media configuration
  • Timetracking: updated KDE integration using kwin scripts, new GNOME Wayland support via extension, Hyprland support, window ID re-detection every minute
  • Save data management: modal folder selector allowing multiple folders/individual files as savedata, with exclusion options to avoid syncing unwanted config files
  • Registry path settings with auto-detection, option to disable network access, VNDB/SteamgridDB autocomplete preference, native Linux game support via “Native” prefix
  • Label reordering via right-click, fixed appimage link opening, corrected QT table colors outside KDE, fixed environment variable checkbox persistence, improved launch times
