Linux Gaming Resources
| Steam | |
| Heroic Launcher | for GOG and Epic store and library |
| Proton DB | for compatibility information |
| Linux VR Adventures (LVRA) Wiki | for Virtual Reality (VR) information |
| ProtonUp-Qt | for easy management of various gaming compatibility tools |
| Steam Tinker Launch | for easy configuration and tweaking of Steam games. I recommend installing it through ProtonUp-Qt. I use it mainly for Mod Organizer 2, Reshade, Mangohud and enabling HDR support. |

Steam Tinker Launch Notes
Refresh Proton List
Delete /dev/shm/steamtinkerlaunch
Add Shader Repos
| Locate the repocustomlist.txt | Location when downloaded from ProtonUp-Qt: /home/USERNAME/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/downloads/shaders If the file does not exist, you can create it manually or copy the bundled template. |
| Format the Repository Entries | Each repository entry in the repocustomlist.txt file should follow the format: "URL";REPONAME;AUTHOR;DESCRIPTION |
| Delete lastdl.txt | So it downloads or updates the shaders. (It wasn't checking the added shaders before deleting.) |
| Safe to delete files in this directory | Everything except repocustomlist.txt and repoblocklist.txt (Haven't tried deleting these 2.) |
