It still seems to search for files/directories when entering the file name but it doesn't select the first file, it saves with the filename you entered. So it was fixed.

Why not use the AppImage or Flatpak version of Yuzu if you want stable libraries.

I don't even remember yuzu having non AppImage releases, if you used AUR you could have just rebuilt the package instead of complaining about manually trying to find the right libraries.

A "normal user" wouldn't be using Arch Linux , building their own packages. They would just use the AppImage or the Flatpak.

Even 600$ is quite a bit of money for a small open source project, especially outside of first world contries. You cannot except every single open source developer to buy somewhat overpriced hardware just to publish it in one platform.

None of the other desktop/mobile platforms require specific hardware , Windows/Linux/Android can all be virtualized/cross compiled to. The only reason you cannot cross compile/virtualize from other platforms is because Apple doesn't want you to. Its possible, there are projects that allow you to do so, but it violates Apple's license.

Also its not fair to compare hobbies like photography or music to programming, you don't need any physical hardware other than a computer for majority of the cases, except testing (even that can be done somewhat reliably by virtualization), and when you are artificially forced to buy hardware just to publish to a platform.

Why does "spyware" only matters for Firefox but not other browsers, considering ~97% of the browser market share is proprietary browsers.

If people cared about privacy majority of users wouldn't use Chrome.

Also what is the point of complaining about spyware when the only viable option is Chrome (and other Chromium based browsers), I trust Mozilla more than any proprietary browser vendor. They collect less data than any of the proprietary browsers. I can actually disable "spyware" using config options. They are not some black box switches that might disable the "spyware" unlike proprietary browsers.
