I’m sick of hunting through forum threads every time a new game lands: which Proton build, which launch options, which environment vars, where to put the shader cache or how to move saves to a different folder for cloud sync. We keep reinventing the same fixes over and over while newcomers get frustrated and abandon Linux gaming.
What if we created a community-maintained repo of per-game ‘Proton profiles’ (small JSON + scripts) that do one-click things: install/select the recommended Proton/GE version, set proven launch options and env vars, apply known workarounds, and optionally pre-load shader caches or point saves to a safe location? Keep it simple and auditable: per-game folders, versioned profiles, and an install script you run locally. Hosted on a public git so anyone can contribute, review, and test. It would be a lightweight, community Rust/BSV to Lutris: less magic, more transparent, and way easier to share with new users and Deck owners.
Who else is fed up with repeating manual tweaks? Would you rather contribute tested profiles, help define a minimal schema, or just try this as a user-friendly tool? If we coordinate, a small core team could have a working prototype in a weekend. Let’s stop telling people “it works if you tweak stuff for hours” and give them a one-click experience instead.
Look at how they’re a one-day-old account spamming the everloving fuck out of Lemmy and using obvious LLM-isms. If not an autonomous bot, then absolutely LLM slop being posted by a human.
You may want to investigate partnership with one of the Decky plugins that already handles some of this. I believe Steam Deck HQ is the main one now, though I haven’t used that myself.
Are you a bot? Because your account is set as one. You can change this in your profile settings for a broader reach.
