It's on flathub!
Update: It's posted on flathub. It should be in stores if you have flathub set as a source.
To install it via the CLI: Code:
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo |
Alternative JRE's
If you don't plan on using the flatpak this is info from my investigation on how to run Minion.
Cheers! P.S. I made sure to use Java 17 as OpenJFX is supported for ARM based machines, as there might be a chance to run ESO few years into the future on ARM-based archtypes. ESO can be played on ARM based macs iirc. |

'Twould be nice to hear that the devs are actively testing versionNext on at least Ubuntu or Linux Mint, two very popular "mainstream" distros. Otherwise I hope you stick around and are willing to roll up another flatpak for the rest of us. :) Thank you again, Zastrix, for all your hard work! |

I am planning to play ESO for the forseeable future so of course I would try to make a flatpak if that is an option. I wouldn't have too much of a problem with a .deb being available. I do use Fedora but basically everything on my system is a flatpak so not a problem to just make it work in a sandbox! |
Made a quick youtube video on how to setup it up as I saw multiple people recommending going manual setup or whatever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xka0UalSjY0

I've been in contact with Dolby and now Minion is both verified on flathub and it's an official download source under minion.gg. Edit, DONE: I'm waiting on some PRs for flathub-specific tools to allow permissions for xdg-data/Steam and then I'll merge some branches to make Minion be delivered by the Flathub CDN, causing smaller downloads during updates and an automatic update job via x-checker-data. Meaning no maintenance won't ever be required except in critical changes where data structure or the JRE needs to be changed. Speaking of the JRE potentially being changed, I've created a template PR for JRE17 LTS so in case it needs to be done it'll literally only take a handful of minutes to do it (primary focus is making it work on aarch64 as well for future Asahi Linux users). |
Fixing the flatpak
Ok seems like flatpak changed some default value which broke the file structure. I'm currently working on PR #16 which should address this for this update and future updates.
Great to see the autodetect for the latest version of Minion works tho. |
Keep in mind of the one issue that affect a lot of folks. The java root cert went bad, expired and affect a lot of folks. I run the java, not .exe, version, so it did not affect me.
