For those wanting to utilize native packages, these are the main places to get them:
* Fedora/OpenSUSE and RHEL (Including AlmaLinux/etc.): <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rankyn/xivlauncher/>
* Arch: `xivlauncher` or `xivlauncher-bin` from the <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository>
* Ubuntu/Mint: <https://launchpad.net/~linneris/+archive/ubuntu/xivlauncher-core-stable>
* Debian and Linux Mint Debian Edition: <https://mpr.makedeb.org/packages/xivlauncher>

**Difference between standard and -bin:** In Arch, when you install packages from the AUR, it usually builds them via a script. If you aren't confident on your CPU's ability to do this, or don't want to wait that long, the `-bin` version is the compiled binary.

**Why choose native over flathub:** Some users report that flathub/flatpak applications can't access parts of their OS, this is technically a feature, as the flatpak is designed as a sandbox of sorts, where it can play in the sand, walled off from the rest of the world. It's easier for the game to access your documents as a native package. Despite it saying "Official," it's actually recommended, if the user is comfortable enough, to use native over flatpak.

**The -rb version:** The `-rb` version is a specially patched version that has extra bits and bobs that make FFXIV work on certain systems/configurations where the standard native version doesn't. You should only use it if you need it.
