Conty VS static-wine32

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

I've spent some time optimizing the build process for static-wine32 so it requires much less manual labor. You still need Docker to build it but link time optimizations are now enabled by default.

static-wine32 updated as well for those of you interested in real performance.

static-wine32 updated as well in case you want to try it out in a sane way ;))

I've spent the month hacking to give you this gem! I hacked the Vulkan loader and Mesa into cooperation and now you can enjoy your 32 bit software without sinking hopelessly into a dependency hell. Nvidia users as usual are not served and they did this to themselves. While many will argue that static-wine32 is to be considered a human rights violation due to its awkwardness, I also addedlink-time optimized dependencies which means you're unlikely to find a faster Wine anywhere else. Mesa alone could get 20% faster if the rumors on the Internet are to be believed.

static-wine32 has been updated accordingly! Liberate yourself from the shackles of dynamic dependencies today!

If you're sick of millions of 32-bit deps I could suggest trying out static-wine32 for a scenario very close to yours. It only needs 32-bit C/C++ standard libraries.

Or if you want the full experience checkout statc-wine32. It includes the latest versions of almost everything statically so no install needed OS-wise. Vulkan not yet supported tho.

static-wine32 updated as well for those with digital masochistic tendencies!

static-wine32 updated and ready to go if you want to free your poor machine from a dependency nightmare!
