GlouOS 1.3

Update notes generated based off of code commits - these are much more accurate than human generated ones

Added

  • A much bigger app library. The Package Manager gained whole new
    categories - Emulators (RetroArch, Dolphin, PCSX2, RPCS3) and Streaming &
    Remote Play (Moonlight, Sunshine, Parsec, Chiaki) - plus many more games and
    tools: Prism Launcher, itch.io, osu!, Cartridges, ProtonPlus, Steam Tinker
    Launch, Signal, Telegram, Mumble, qBittorrent, Brave, GIMP, Krita, Blender,
    HandBrake, AntiMicroX and Piper.
  • Type a path in the File Explorer. Press Ctrl+L (or click the empty part
    of the address bar) to turn the breadcrumbs into a box you can type or paste
    a folder path into - ~ shortcuts work too - just like Windows Explorer.
  • Friendlier screenshots. Print now snips a region straight to your
    clipboard, Shift+Print copies the whole screen, and Meta+Shift+S grabs a
    region to save - no menus, ready to paste.
  • Windows programs just run. Double-click a .exe or .msi and it opens
    through the built-in compatibility layer - GlouOS now sets Wine up quietly
    in the background at first login, so that first double-click is instant
    instead of pausing for setup.

Fixed

  • The "drivers incomplete" warning stopped crying wolf. It used to warn
    (and tell you to open a terminal) based on a stale flag, even when the
    drivers were actually fine or you were already online - a reviewer hit
    exactly that. It now re-checks what is really missing, clears itself when
    everything is present, and offers a one-click finish when you're online.
  • Updating from Settings no longer gets stuck. The graphical updater could
    freeze on a hidden "proceed? [y/n]" question it gave you no way to answer.
    It now runs fully unattended - any prompt in the chain proceeds on its own -
    and a GlouOS update can't be blocked by a stray leftover file either.
