Quoting: memvirusI have Lutris currently installed via apt/ a downloaded .deb
Will installing it via flatpak make a new directory for it?

Yes. Flatpak, being containerized by default, would install its version of Lutris separately from the one installed via apt. Flatpak keeps its file system separate. It shouldn't overlap with apt.

The challenge would be telling the shortcuts (launcher) apart. They'll likely share the same name. Fortunately, you can just rename the shortcut as desired.

In this case, I would suggest using Flatpak for the latest version and then choosing an earlier version to install via a .deb installer. There should be no need to back up your config files (although it never hurts - they're in hidden folders under your Home folder in multiple locations). I never have and the files & settings have remained while I've bounced back and forth between versions. Not sure how it would work with Flatpak, however. I don't know where that version stores its config files.

Quoting: memvirusalso sadly PopOS seems to be neither in compatible host nor container OS

Not sure exactly what you mean by this, but Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu. It is listed under Ubuntu in the link you provided. Generally, anything you can do on Ubuntu, you should be able to do on Pop!_OS. It supports .deb installers and LaunchPad PPAs, for example.

Being as you are new to tinkering with Linux, make sure you make a complete backup of your system and data before you start. That way, if something foobars, you'll have something solid to fall back on. Timeshift is effective but my favorite backup tool is Clonezilla (its back-ups are compressed and take less space).

Good luck and have fun.

I suspect that rating is not entirely unbiased? 😸

These builds are deployed untested.

That's the opposite of what anyone wants.

• [Ardenfall](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1837770/Ardenfall_Demo/) - "first-person RPG inspired by Morrowind" - you had me at morrowind (one of my all time favs)


• [REPLACED](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4261860/REPLACED_Demo/) - a 2d side scroller cyberpunk adventure. Art / lore / story / visuals look absolutely killer awesome.


• [SpaceCraft](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3276050/SpaceCraft/) - I'm a sucker for a good space sim. I'm not much on base building or logistics though, so this could go either way for me.


• [Chipmatic](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3780950/Chipmatic/) - "incremental factory building game where you control a mining robot" - looks like a really cool digging game for the steam deck


• [Dead Fibers](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2834670/Dead_Fibers/) - looks / sounds kind of like a fps immersive sim? That's one of my fav genres, but hard to do right, so we shall see.

Quoting: CaldathrasWhat they are talking about at this link would work best with tarball binaries. For example, with OpenMW it is possible to have multiple versions installed using tarball binaries. They all share the same configuration files, however.

Hello, I tried to play Spider-man 2000, only one big issue: game crahes or loose keyboard + mouse after Alt-Tab, can you reproduce with this recent Wine release?

Quoting: jams3223Thank god, I got a 1TB SSD for my laptop and Steam Deck and bought two 16GB memory sticks for my laptop in time before they got expensive. I even bought a lot of other external SSD storage to store my data. I knew this would one day happen. I even already bought my Steam Deck OLED one year earlier. I dreamed about this.

Did you accidentally post your comment under the wrong article? This one doesn't mention the hardware price hikes. 🤔
