First Look at LURE! Bringing AUR to All Linux Distros
If this sample build script is anything to go by, the script contributors would need to specify all the different sets of dependencies themselves. Someone would need to automate that process for the project to do anything useful.

LURE 0.0.2 Released
To find the less obvious bugs and missing features, and to increase the usefulness of LURE, I'd like to ask anyone who is willing to add packages to the repo at https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure-repo. The documentation for LURE's build scripts is available here: https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure/blob/master/docs/build-scripts.md.

LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
Yeah, and the build scripts for LURE are extremely similar. You can see one of the ones I've been testing with here: https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure-repo/blob/master/itd-bin/lure.sh.

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.

Civ6 in a Windows VM?
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)

Wine 8.10 Released
nah, there is conty to save the day of not dealing with i386

Gaming in Slackware?

Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
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.

Current state of linux application sandboxing. Is it even as secure as Android ?
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.

The first tip to give to any new Linux user should be "do NOT search for, download, and install software on the Web!"
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.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
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.

Improved Wine gaming with exeCute
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.
