Looking for an alternative game library manager similar to GOG Galaxy
I like https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub. However, it has some caveats.
-
Anyone using a launcher?
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.
-
Is the Gamehub official site legitimate?
The Github directs users to https://tkashkin.tk , which redirects to a very sketchy site/sites.
-
Any Third-Party steam clients?
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)
-
What frontend do you use ?
Attract mode and GameHub also support adding other games besides emulated ones.
-
App ideas for GNOME (GTK4) Vala?
Idk if this is up your alley, but gamehub is a program I use daily and from what github reports, it's 95% vala.

New user here; in my opinion, Linux gaming is already nearly identical to gaming on Windows
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.

how can I sync my GOG Galaxy cloud game or download my save files? (Blasphemous, Gamehub)
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.
-
GOG finally remove the false "in progress" note about GOG Galaxy for Linux
I use GameHub for managing Gog games, it even has joypad support.

Steam Deck
I haven't used it myself but steamtinkerlaunch is definitely your best bet. It lets you easily set up Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex directly on your Deck. The quite extensive wiki will provide more information than I possibly could.

Project lead change
For any problems, suggestions and contributions you might have, please use the issue tracker (which was the preferred way already before)

Man New Vegas looks so good on here! Forgot how great this game was. Still can't believe I'm playing this on a handheld.
Tinker Launcher is the easiest way to do it. There is also a third party Linux "port" of MO2 you can install. Tinker Launcher is my preferred method. ProtonupQT is not where you get it from. https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Installation
-
Does vortex collection work on lutris?
Another app / set of scripts I have found is https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch.
- FSR appears to have no effect on Geometry Dash (Steam game).
- 1k ⭐
- Can't create mixed-case collections ("Vortex")
-
Set up steam tinker launch on my steam deck to run a nonsteam game with Wine 5.22. Can’t get it to download!
