Faugus 2.4.2 Adds Custom Colors and a Slimmer Flatpak for Linux Gamers

Faugus, the open-source launcher that runs Windows games on Linux through UMU-Launcher, has released version 2.4.2 with a custom color picker for the Overview panel and app background. The update also trims the Flatpak build by dropping an unnecessary Wine dependency and bumping to GNOME 51, while fixing a broken "Stop" button and a system tray working-directory bug. Notably, the project moved fast, shipping 2.4.0 through 2.4.2 in a single week after 2.4.1 was forced to rework its backup notifications to pass a Flathub review. It's available as an AppImage, AUR package, RPM, deb, or via Flatpak, with the .deb format proving the most popular download so far.
