Hey! I wasn't planning on making a linux build seeing as Proton seems to handle everything well; is there a reason why Proton wouldn't be viable in your case?

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my late one. I'm sorry but I don't know what exactly is Proton and if it works or not in my case, but if you didn't planned on making it a linux build, then don't worry ❤️

I just discovered this thanks to you guys, it seems that Proton is a compatibility layer based on Wine, used by Steam to get windows games to work on Linux based systems, it's developed by Valve.  wikipedia article.

Simple Proton setup: Install Lutris or Steam, add the game to Lutris/as non-steam game, launch it through Lutris/Steam. The launcher should handle it for you!

(you can choose either Lutris or Steam, your preference)

Hi, sorry to chime in!

It's very difficult to run Itch Windows game on Steam Deck; Steam just quits and doesn't run it, and Lutris just won't find the existing files it's pointed to.

I did the same procedure I did for other Itch games and while it works well on my Linux Mint desktop, it won't on my Steam Deck.

Maybe it's the ARM CPU, maybe it's Arch Linux, but it's difficult to get them to run.

Could you maybe consider a Linux build?
