 marienz | I don't think there's a way around having to do that for each game | 08:23:03 |
| marienz | (no default launch options for all games that don't have per-game options set) | 08:23:49 |
| marienz | So it's a little annoying (but does work) | 08:24:08 |
 magic_rb | I wish steam had a better api for this:
- List games
- Set launch options
It would make things easier for a lot of linux folks

 srestegosaurio (on tchncs.de) | I've once saw a project which let you do something like that as a nixos module. | 10:01:04 |
| srestegosaurio (on tchncs.de) | It seemed hacky. | 10:01:13 |
| marienz | I'd be curious how they managed it (I can't really think of a way short of replacing the /bin/sh Steam sees with something that checks whether it's being invoked by Steam) | 10:03:47 |
| magic_rb | They edit steams vdf database, which means steam cant running when you do it | 10:38:17 |
| magic_rb | Very impractical | 10:38:32 |
| marienz | ah, I see. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3453 looks like the relevant upstream feature request (and someone in there mentions sed-ing localconfig.vdf, presumably same approach you're describing) | 10:40:39 |
| magic_rb | Yeah its truly a shame there isnt a api for this :( next year when i go to xdc ill convince one of the valve contractors to push the idea within valve. Cant hurt to try | 10:42:00 |
| marienz | Looks like I missed that nixpkgs+NixOS already had a hook for this. Assuming you're using the NixOS steam module, try adding programs.steam.extraPackages = pkgs: [ pkgs.gamescope ] (...it's even the example in https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=26.05&query=steam.extraPackages#show=option%253Aprograms.steam.extraPackages ) | 11:14:54 |
| marienz | err, sorry, that should've been just programs.steam.extraPackages = [pkgs.gamescope] | 11:19:10 |
| marienz | * err, sorry, that should've been just programs.steam.extraPackages = [ pkgs.gamescope ] | 11:19:25 |
