Conty VS dosbox-staging

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

DOSBox Staging has the best CRT emulation I've seen. It really feels like going back to a VGA monitor.

See the screenshots on https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ Latest Staging version is 0.80.

Anyhow whioch dosbox? Well there were non release version somewhere on t he stage but it got fairly bad and https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ is probbaly a better choice.

You may also want to consider alternatives, such as DOSBox Staging, DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, or DOSBox-X.. or if you're looking for a more user friendly experience, you can also try the eDuke32, Raze, or JFDuke3D community ports instead of messing around with DOS settings. Hope this helps!

Any crashes and freezes you experience -> please report them in the bug tracker: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/issues

In DOSBox Staging you can type imgmount /? and it will show you some usage examples, including the one with multiple floppies :).

The version of DOSbox the above games come with is very old, so you may want to look into something like https://dosbox-staging.github.io/, which will run those games much better on newer hardware.

Lo puedes jugar emulando DOS en DOSBox (recomiendo el "fork" DOSBox Staging) o a través de un source port llamado Commander Genius, que es más fácil de usar y tiene algunas facilidades para la modernidad.
