Some repacks (fitgirl and dodi and sometimes others) occasionally decide not to install ever in any linux system with wine or proton (they’ll crash at some point in the installation), and then you’ll have to install them first in a windows vm and then move them over to linux. It’s not really a rare issue, like 50/50, depends on the repack and its compression settings and just the luck of the day. Games that are already installed which you’re just moving over work perfectly 99% of the time. I recommend lutris.
You could download pre-installed games (e.g. from SteamRIP.net, or Steam Depots from cs.rin.ru)
You can even get uncracked game folders from cs.rin.ru and then crack them yourself (assuming only steam drm) using something like „steam auto cracker“ or whatever that tool is called.
That's what I meant by "Steam Depots".
oops sorry
No prob anyway ... You explained the meaning of "Steam Depot" to those who may not know.
