@k900:0upti.meK900So Valve isn't really actively invested in it 16:47:44
@k900:0upti.meK900They're definitely not unaware of it and they've done things to support it better16:48:11
@k900:0upti.meK900But it's not an official distribution method16:48:21
@angryant:envs.net@angryant:envs.netExactly. Hence an understandable primary priority of "just make it work" with other considerations very distant.16:48:47
@k900:0upti.meK900They have been moving towards using more portal APIs16:49:21
@k900:0upti.meK900Just for better desktop integration 16:49:29
@k900:0upti.meK900So maybe over time it'll get better 16:49:34
@angryant:envs.net@angryant:envs.netAh that very nice in general.16:49:38
@angryant:envs.net@angryant:envs.net* Ah that's very nice in general.16:49:49

Depends on what you're trying to isolate really
all games, native and proton, from being able to read/write anything on the local filesystem, bar the game files + save dir
19:42:14
@k900:0upti.meK900Not in a generic way then 19:47:49
@k900:0upti.meK900You'll need to actually specify where all of that stuff is19:47:58
@genericnerdyusername:matrix.org@genericnerdyusername:matrix.org should I just make gaming user and let the unprivileged account run things as it using doas/sudo 19:55:51

You'll need to actually specify where all of that stuff is
so if all the saves are in ~/.config or smth and all the games are under a single steam library path, would that work?

should I just make gaming user and let the unprivileged account run things as it using doas/sudo
i have such an account for gaming only and it works pretty well
though usually i log in with it directly rather than switching to it with su/sudo/doas/login

@woobilicious:matrix.org@woobilicious:matrix.orgSomething about NixOS & bcachefs (64 bit inodes?) breaks 32bit Steam games, SteamOverlay never loads and causes lag and stutter, other games struggle finding files (L4D1, Portal), Anyone know why the FHS system might be breaking this?08:19:08
@k900:0upti.meK900IIRC it's a known issue with bcachefs08:19:43
@woobilicious:matrix.org@woobilicious:matrix.org Something tell me it's specific to NixOS, other people have reported similar issues but most of them seem to work on non-nixos and 64bit inodes.\ 08:24:32
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgThat's an issue on btrfs aswell I believe08:28:34

08:32:27
@woobilicious:matrix.org@woobilicious:matrix.orgsteam-run FHS would/could break this?08:32:47
@k900:0upti.meK900Technically bubblewrap could be suid08:32:58
@k900:0upti.meK900But it shouldn't be by default I think?08:33:06
@woobilicious:matrix.org@woobilicious:matrix.orgHmm pressure-vessel-shell doens't seem to think so.08:43:27
