Well my bro just rage quit Bazzite and is going back to Windows.
Look. Conan Exiles Enhanced got released. Me on CachyOS? I just rolled with the thing and installed whatever it took. In the end it was like one line in fish. My bro on the other hand got a more complicated list (and he is less tech savvy) and is now rage quitting linux.
So ... good job. Thanks for holding his hand and throwing stones in his way.
This is what I had to do on CachyOS. I asked ChatGPT, sorry for the heresy:
>bash -c "protontricks 440900 vcrun2022"
This is what I got when I said "do the same for Bazzite":
>distrobox-create --name protonbox --image archlinux:latest --yes
>distrobox-enter protonbox -- bash -c "
>sudo pacman -Sy --noconfirm protontricks
>APPID=440900
>COMPAT_PATH=\$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/\$APPID
># fallback path (some setups use this)
>if [ ! -d \"\$COMPAT_PATH\" ]; then
>COMPAT_PATH=\$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/\$APPID
>fi
>echo \"Using compat path: \$COMPAT_PATH\"
>STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=\$COMPAT_PATH protontricks \$APPID vcrun2022
