steam-buddy VS lutris

I reinstalled Manjaro and everything is working, I can give info still though from when it was broken. Grub CommandLine worked. ASUS splash is normal. Chroot worked. I believe the Chimera app at https://github.com/chimeraos/chimera/ caused it, since it uses multiple patches of software that I didn’t have at the time, or it was because I uninstalled libpamac for libpamac-full, there was something else arch related that could’ve also caused it, but it wasn’t something that was needed at boot (and wasn’t critical, just preinstalled), but I swapped it with something else, because the other package conflicted with it, it was uninstalled, still no idea how it happened, but there are more than zero things that could’ve caused it. Also how do I make new lines in Reddit? Everything constantly looks weird when I make a comment and it’s annoying. Windows after using Linux is jarring, I agree, especially since I’m now using Manjaro as my main OS, Windows is still there, but only if something goes wrong, but I still have my installation USB (it uses Ventoy so I just store the ISO on it), so I’m all good. I honestly recommend Manjaro as a daily driver, Windows had so many features (that seemed) like an attempt to stop me from (in my personal perspective) make my system better in the sense of installing Linux, there are some kinks, including sh*tty companies needing Windows for simple necessities like drivers, I still love Linux and as I use it, I realise how much better it is, including being on the more nerdy and advanced side of things, relying on a command line feels amazing and I have way more freedom than if I still used Windows.

Doesn't have humble bundle support, but you might be interested in https://github.com/chimeraos/chimera

Hey. The Idea is great! Maybe you can also think about offering the feature "Adding installed Epic-Game entry to Steam Library" in some of these Projects? https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher which is based on https://github.com/derrod/legendary or https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimera which is especially made for purposes you have in mind (not leaving the steam ui) Maybe this inspires you and you gonna find things your script is able to do which those projects aren't. I bet you could contribute to any of these projects, which clearly will enhance the steam deck experience

It comes bundled with a lot of them. All libretro and some others. Check this out: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/chimera

You need to use Steam Buddy, here are instructions on how to connect to it: https://github.com/gamer-os/steam-buddy/blob/master/README.md#usage

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.
