 @atemu12:matrix.org | darkwater4213: I mean you could build something like that | 14:38:30 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Via steam-cli | 14:38:42 |
|  @tommy:datenkollektiv.net left the room. | 14:45:53 |
 @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | Sounds incredibly hacky if even doable. | 16:10:30 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | You could probably even do it via Nix that way now that I think about it | 16:17:13 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | You'd have to get your creds into the FOD but that should be doable | 16:17:38 |
 @darkwater4213:matrix.org | ~~well then why hasn't anyone done it~~ | 17:18:59 |
 K900 | There's actually a whole bunch of problems with that | 17:19:16 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Be the change you want to see | 17:19:22 |
| K900 | Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision | 17:19:31 |
| @darkwater4213:matrix.org | In all seriousness, this would be basically useless to me until Nix on W*ndows is released. My ultimate goal is to never have to touch W*ndows ever again. | 17:19:53 |
| K900 | And also I'm not sure if this is still a thing, or was ever really a thing on Linux native titles, but Steam used to fingerprint individual downloads | 17:20:02 |
| K900 | You can use Linux SteamCMD to download Windows apps, though | 17:20:24 |

Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision Well... then flakes are impossible, sure. But I don't see why we can't do something like HM and create something like a steam-games channel? | 17:21:02 |
| K900 | You also can't point Steam at store paths | 17:21:38 |

You can use Linux SteamCMD to download Windows apps, though Not very useful for anti-cheat 😠| 17:21:39 |
| K900 | It will explode | 17:21:42 |
| K900 | If it can't write to the game directory | 17:21:48 |

Be the change you want to see This is a project for the semi-distant future, I'm afraid. | 17:22:11 |
| K900 | The only way you can really do this is some sort of an ensureApps option that will just call Steam to auto-install things from a systemd service | 17:22:12 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
Mostly that steamcmd can't download a fixed revision I'm pretty sure I downloaded a specific revision through a CLI before | 17:22:49 |
| K900 | It can download a beta branch | 17:24:14 |
| K900 | And some games, especially ones with dedicated servers, offer older versions as beta branches | 17:24:33 |

This is a project for the semi-distant future, I'm afraid. And thus darkwater4213 treads the path of the people before him | 17:28:25 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
It can download a beta branch No, a specific revision number | 17:28:48 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Facebook broke BeatSaber mods or something at some point and I just wanted to play my damn game | 17:29:17 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Steam has revisions and they're exposed to users | 17:29:42 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | Not through the Steam UI though of course | 17:29:55 |
| @darkwater4213:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
The only way you can really do this is some sort of an ensureApps option that will just call Steam to auto-install things from a systemd service Well, this is more for a playbook-type of application. | 17:33:41 |
