Steam Deck vs that Asus thingy
(lemmy.world)
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Proton is just fancy Wine. You're running the games from those other stores in a Wine prefix, and you can definitely choose Proton as your Wine version.
Frontends like Heroic or Lutris make that super easy.
You can also use Steam as a launcher. In Desktop Mode there is a menu entry "Add a Non-Steam game to my Steam Library". For Windows games, you can just browse to their .exe file. After adding it to the library, you can open the Library Entry's Properties page, and choose Proton as compatibility tool.
That way you get your non-Steam games in your Gaming Mode launcher.
To get nicer images, there's a website named https://www.steamgriddb.com/ that also has a small Flatpak tool that you can use in Desktop Mode to set icons/banners for your Non-Steam games.
