  • 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).

  • min-ed-launcher

    Minimal Elite Dangerous Launcher

  • Some game communities have created their own launchers specifically to get around the jank. e.g. https://github.com/rfvgyhn/min-ed-launcher

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gogrepo

    Python-based tool for downloading all your GOG.com game and bonus collections to your local computer for full offline enjoyment.
