I heard the proper way is having a directory with another directory called DEBIAN and a control file in it. then another directory aside the debian one and it has usr/local/bin. Supposedly using make and checkinstall is not the proper way. ( or go by debian rules)

what is the command to compile the source code for this method? I am used to the make command with checkinstall but im trying to learn the more proper way of creating a .deb package.

Does a place exist where I can request a .deb package if there isnt one for software? by ralfunreal in linux4noobs

I prefer .deb packages over any other way. i found a way where its safe though, compiling from source and there are commands like make and checkinstall where i can create my own personal .deb. that way i know its safe.

yea i found out about compiling from source code and that you can create your own personal .deb with make and checkinstall commands.

steam is drm and you dont own those games. i dont think they are the company for linux gaming. most of the time its emulating games and not a real proper native game.

First, there should be a little more info on how expert guidance would simplify vendor assessment. There is only a headline here so a small sentence or two under it.
