monolithic VS Playnite

A LAN party setup might still prefer this lancache setup for better experience depending on your network setup. This user talks about clients preferring Steam's functionality on a slower Steam client to a faster server with a bigger pipe: https://github.com/lancachenet/monolithic/issues/85#issuecom...

A smarter implementation could handle it better. But probably not an issue for the majority who aren't at lan parties and are at home. I also find my own Steam client will only connect to 1 host, and not attempt any others before falling back to downloading from Steam.

hmm LanCache? https://hub.docker.com/r/lancachenet/monolithic

Run this docker container on your NAS and never worry about it again. https://hub.docker.com/r/lancachenet/monolithic It will make a copy of every game you download on either system. Then when the other machine asks for file it will serve them locally from your NAS.

There are some projects out there that try to cache game updates and the like. Something like this: https://github.com/lancachenet/monolithic

Aside from bandwidth steering you also might want to look into LanCache (previously SteamCache), a transparent caching service that runs in a docker container.

I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin.

Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose.

Here's a project for Playnite 11: https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/milestone/9

As for my LGO, the only other app I've installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn't detect everything I have installed and I don't want to manage manually adding games to their launcher.

use playnite instead of the individual launchers.

Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/

When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch manager, and helps me discover new games. But I'm not locked into paying them a 30% fee, which is pretty brutal for some smaller publishers.

For anyone with any of the myriad of HDR monitors that prefers to leave desktop mode in SDR RGB, I just discovered that the excellent Playnite game launcher has a feature where you can enable HDR on a per-game basis. Simply tick the "Enable HDR support" option under "Advanced" tab for the settings of the games that you want HDR turned on for. I was previously using the now-abandoned AutoActions for this, so glad to see there's an alternative in a tool I already use.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I've been using Playnite to launch everything on my computer for years.
