wemod-launcher VS winesapOS

I have managed to install and successfully run WeMod from Lutris last night. I want to give big thanks to the creator of WeMod Launcher repo, which had the steps that helped me actually get WeMod to install. The repo linked has the steps on how to make WeMod work with Steam Tinker Launch, which is fine, but games that are installed manually and added to Lutris will most probably not work with that method. So I was playing around to see if I could get it to work on Lutris. I will use some steps for installing WeMod to the Steam Deck from the repo itself and then add my own details for making it work specifically on Lutris.

Saw this posted recently, haven't tried it yet. Lmk if you do :) https://github.com/DaniAsh551/wemod-launcher

I run winesapOS[0] which is based on SteamOS and was able to repurpose an old Toshiba notebook for my kids, running Freddy Fish* and other games. Windows 10 doesn't run smoothly (even though it came with Windows 10) and I'm not going to run anything older than that.

* Yes, ScummVM is available for Linux but the Steam Linux distribution included an old ScummVM which wasn't able to load some libraries. Running the Windows version through an compatibility layer was easier than modifying shell files to run the latest ScummVM through flatpak.

HoloISO and ChimeraOS no longer support Nvidia so you'll need to use winesapOS.

If the BIOS isn't locked try booting winesapOS off a flash drive.

Context: winesap seems to be a spin of SteamOS3 with KDE, somehow optimised for gaming. It's meant to be used as a live distro?

My understanding is that Valve intends to release SteamOS 3 for install on other machines at some point, and it will likely include support when that happens. In the meantime, there a modified version of it available on GitHub here which claims to support NVIDIA GPUs, but I have not tried it.

Unofficial SteamOS 3.0 (steam deck) build for PCs, with a graphical installer

Currently I am planning on running a VM with winsapeos

https://github.com/LukeShortCloud/winesapOS - it is a simple image, ready made, with a lot of software installed. There is almost no configuration needed. However, this means that the image will contain a lot of software that you don't need. From a gaming perspective, you could even game on this and it's already set up - but as it is running from a SD card, I prefer to just reboot into the standard OS.

If you want something similar to HoloISO, but it has everything you need out of the box, there is WinesapOS. It is also based on the Steam recovery image, but with a bunch of apps and changes for desktop gamers. For an advanced user it would be too bloated, but for a beginner it means you will not need to install or setup apps for any of your game launchers, antivirus software, Chrome, Wine, etc. It also features Intel Mac support, which is pretty cool.
