- Delete a workout
- Calculate calories burned for workouts

Warzone 2100
And who doesn’t love a classic Linux game?
Warzone 2100 lets you command the forces of The Project in a battle to rebuild the world after mankind was nearly destroyed by nuclear missiles.
Warzone 2100, released in 1999 and developed by Pumpkin Studios, is a ground-breaking and innovative 3D real-time strategy game.
In 2004 Eidos, in collaboration with Pumpkin Studios, released the source for the game under the terms of the GNU GPL. This release included everything but the music and in-game video sequences. These, however, were also later released.
This game has one problem: It uses an old platform package (org.kde.Platform 6.4). This means that it takes more space on disk but the fun is worth it!
You can install “Warzone 2100” by clicking the install button on the web site or manually using this command:
flatpak install flathub net.wz2100.wz2100
Warzone 2100 is also available as rpm on fedora’s repositories
