GameHub VS ModBuddy

I like https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub. However, it has some caveats.

Right now there's Steam, Heroic (Epic, Gog), Itch, Gamejolt, Humble, etc. Nothing really integrates all of them except GameHub and it's inactive and doesn't have EGS support.

The Github directs users to https://tkashkin.tk , which redirects to a very sketchy site/sites.

Some that I have found: - GameHub (Neat project, but does not support the usage of proton or wine for steam games - PlayNite (Only supports Windows at the moment, Linux support will come some time in the future) - steam-tui (A little too bare-bones for my taste)

Attract mode and GameHub also support adding other games besides emulated ones.

Idk if this is up your alley, but gamehub is a program I use daily and from what github reports, it's 95% vala.

Bonus: Since you mentioned GOG and some ROMs, check out Gamehub, it's a game launcher (like Lutris) that combines gog, itch, humble, steam and emulators. Looks really nice and its pretty easy to use. Specifically for GOG it has a way to automatically download and install the games on your account.

There is the GameHub issue related to this: https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/issues/630 documentation linked there is made by us - the Heroic team.

I use GameHub for managing Gog games, it even has joypad support.

Usage example

It's exciting to see someone else try to tackle the same problem as me. Approximately a year ago i also attempted to implement a mod manager for Linux, but the progress halted a bit when i got satisfied with how i could mod STALKER Anomaly (plus some other errands which ate up my time).

I've seen that case insensitivity is a big deal (which is a shame, but i guess that is due to different name handling on *tux/Windows. Luckily it isn't the worst problem to handle, and can be followed here
