Not at all what I was asking. But, okay.

Cool, thank you! A lot of games on ProtonDB list specific versions of proton that work best for different games. That's why I asked. But, I could just add a file in the root of the prefix with the version that worked (for troubleshooting purposes).

Do you have any preference for Lutris, bottles, vanilla proton?

Makes sense. I wouldn't want to have all of my games in one wine prefix. I would like to keep them separate like steam/proton does. From looking it up, it seems the issue is that there is a lot of duplicate data that would need to be deduplicated. Steam supposedly does symlinks to solve this. But, if the symlinks points to /home/user/ as the base then that would break on /home/deck.

If you have any experience with Lutris/bottles. Do they do separate wine prefixes? If so, how do they handle it?

What about graphics drivers? What if the desktop has an Nvidia GPU and the steam deck is AMD. Would that even matter?

Ah. Different builds for different versions. Makes sense

I have three questions if you have the time. Can you make it go to desktop mode by default, not big picture mode? What DE does it come with, Plasma? Does it come with Lutris or whatever? If I have an .exe installer for an old game, does it come pre-installed with tools to help create the proton wine-prefixes and everything? I imagine the last one would allow Flatpak to be used.

Thanks. I might have to watch that.

What am I missing? What is this movie?

I agree with the foss alternatives part. FreeCAD isn't great, but I've been loving ondsel lately which is a fork that improves the interface and even sends some pull requests to the upstream. 😊

The best ones for this are the ones from Best Buy. Easystore.

I just want an app to backup all the photos from my phone automatically. I use NextCloud for that currently and it works well. But, it's kinda heavy for what I want/need.

Iirc signal has something you can host for the communications of strangers.
