Hi I've been recently using the steam flatpak instead of the rpm package from the rpm fusion repos here on fedora 38. Everything has been going swell except one thing. I have two drives with steam libraries on them other than the default one steam creates. I can add these through the storage manager but when I restart my computer steam often but not always forgets them. Meaning most of the time when I boot my computer I have to go into the storage manager in steam and re-select the library folders and then it remembers my installed games. I've already had an issue open on the github for the steam flatpak but alas nothing yet https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/1075. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone knows how I could remedy this so the drives are there on boot. I did get two other people with the issue on github but no solutions.

Try the Flatpak one.

I recently updated from Fedora Silverblue 36 to 38, and now Japanese fonts are no longer working properly in multiple apps. Before, they would display correctly, but now I get rectangles instead of the proper characters. Examples of affected apps are Steam and Lifeograph (both installed via Flatpak).

Here's the actual thread in case you're interested.

You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

https://lutris.net/

For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:

* https://lutris.net

* https://github.com/lutris/lutris

It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

ProtonDB is a community list of Steam games rating their playability. Heroic launcher runs GOG and Epic games. Lutris and Bottles can be used to run everything else.
