| Unfortunately, there is no package available in the Debian repository, so it will be required to run the [`/scripts/build.sh build_deb`](../scripts/build.sh#L171-L210) script. The script will install the dependencies and GameHub. |

I haven't actually tried it on Debian, but I think packages for Ubuntu should install on Debian if dependencies are available in repos.

that may be true, but PPAs have been prone to break in Debian since they were made specifically for Ubuntu. i wouldn't recommend adding PPAs if you are risking breakage

It should be possible to just download prebuilt .deb from releases page and install it on Debian without adding any repos (if all of dependencies are actually available in Debian repos).

i would suggest we can add a warning that the .deb hasn't been tested in Debian, so users may experience issues

Used the PPA, nothing broke, the commands are different though. I think that the granite package could cause some packages to break, not sure though. (btw I have no idea how to do the suggestions thing lol)
Debian
sudo apt install dirmngr
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tkashkin/gamehub/ubuntu focal main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gamehub-ppa.list

replying to this #407 (comment) do you think that we should add a warning for the Flatpak'd version? |
|
Yes, warning may be useful. Currently both flatpak and AppImage builds have some issues which may or may not be fixed in the future. |

Thanks, documentation definitely needs improvements. Feel free to add suggestions to the readme, wiki or homepage. |

unfortunately, i'm terrible with HTML, but i can help you improve the README and the wiki |
Decided to revamp the documentations because it was a bit hard to understand
