System Information

  • SteamTinkerLaunch version: git
  • Distribution: Arch Linux

Feature Description

The Main Menu currently has a Wiki button. This opens the SteamTinkerLaunch wiki homepage, either in the user's default browser with xdg-open, or using the Yad WebKit integration to open it in a Yad window.

I am proposing to replace this button with a button to install the Steam Linux Runtime required by the current game's selected Proton version, as this can be an important tinkering step to fix games. If a user has installed, say, GE-Proton8-9 and has never launched a game with it outside of STL, they won't have the required Steam Linux Runtime. It should also detect when we're using a native game (if launched from Steam) and properly download the native Steam Linux Runtime.

This button would essentially mimic the functionality of the new getslr command (#861). There is a PR up at #870 to implement this, including some details on the rationale behind the change, essentially boiling down to my opinion that this is more useful because the wiki can be accessed in other ways, including the homepage from the app icon menu.

I am making this issue to gauge whether or not people do actually use this button regularly and if they would miss it. Please comment if you use this feature. I will leave this issue open for a bit to see if there are any responses. If you do use this button feel free to suggest a another button which this could replace.

Thanks!

It seems there were no strong opinions on this one way or the other, so the feature was merged and this issue can be closed :-)
