Conty VS Wine-Builds

For the glory of mankind he edited his post saying that running Steam through conty (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty) fixed his problem with EAC enabled games.

Have you tried using: Flatpak (use flatseal for other library locations), Conty (use HOME_DIR in case you want to separate it from host's .steam folder), or Distrobox (use Bazzite-Arch image for quick setup)

nah, there is conty to save the day of not dealing with i386

Or go the https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty way

These ideas I'm toying with also is what made me request the non-image option with Conty here (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty/issues/77) where u/Kron4ek speedily patched an option to do so (ty!). Though I'm still pondering what I'm trying to do and if it would make sense with Conty.

I'd imagine the sandbox options are bubblewrap presets, though -- you'd probably want to look around conty-start.sh for more details or ask in the GitHub Discussion.

Have you tried Conty? The best way I could describe it is the combination of distrobox and AppImage. You basically build a single binary (or use the pre-built one the dev made) containing a minimal Arch install and any other packages you listed in the create-arch-bootstrap.sh file.

Do note that with Nobara having Fedora base, some stuff might not have a Flatpak/AppImage or RPM for you to install easily unlike on Debian/Ubuntu-based (tho PikaOS is Nobara re-implemented under Ubuntu-base, but I haven't tested it). Distrobox and Conty may help you with that, but if you were fine with Steam Deck's limitation, you should be alright under Fedora-based distro.

It's why I usually just run Bottles in Conty. nix-unstable also have the latest Bottles builds, though I haven't tested those yet. I don't think the default permissions is a big problem though, just something to note if you store your games outside of areas it has permissions for by default.

Conty https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty looks interesting, but also relies on an image, here squashfs. Mentioned in this comment along with some more options: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/xq09nf/comment/iqdigoe/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Create a Wine prefix for COD WAW Plutonium. It can be a 32 bit or 64 bit Wine prefix. Plutonium works with Wine 8.0.1. You can download this version of wine and many other wine version from Kron4ek.

Download wine from here (download for x86).

Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.

Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)

Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.
