This is interesting, Bazzite abandoning Discover was the final straw for me to dump Bazzite on my TV pc and move back to Kubuntu. I don’t have GameMode anymore but the feeling of being in control is worth it so won’t be switching back

I use Bottles for this. Takes care of all the technical wine stuff I don’t understand and leave me with 1 “C:/” drive everything can be installed in to rather than having one for each app/game like Lutris does

I have replaced autohotkeys with https://github.com/espanso/espanso

It does everything I need it to, although I am not sure if it can do the mouse button things you need

I’ve installed a few through Litrus and they have just worked. This was on SteamDeck and Ubuntu desktop

Does this work on a headless box?

Thanks for posting this! Was a very interesting read. I am deep into Logseq right now but this setup is tempting

I would use syncthing for this

This is an amazing guide! Thanks so much for sharing it.
