HeikesFootSlaveSteam Library Manager = OpenSource App to "tame" your SteamLibrary
Magnum, P.I.Maybe you can make the GitHub link clickable and switch to CodeBerg or something in the long run. You talk about leaving Windows, but GitHub is another Microsoft platform.
Good point about GitHub/Microsoft. Codeberg is on my radar but moving a whole repo with CI/CD, releases, issue templates etc is a bigger task. Maybe as a mirror first. For now GitHub is where the users are.
I like github! Have many repos there with SwitchBros Community, even if we often have DMCA repos š because of Big N! I know that it is Microsoft but I also saw someone using Edge Browser on Linux, but who am I to Judge ;)? š¤·
Someone using Edge on Linux was forced to use it due to some company policy or incompatible web app. There is no sane Linux user unironicaly using Edge as a browser.
But yes, Windows is also were the people are at, but if everyone develops and distributes its software for Windows, it will never change. So I guess thatās why you wrote this Linux app in the first place?
No, it was really his choice of Browser! I was shocked myself watching a YT Video teaching how to setup Linux with tipps and tricks and then seeing that he is installing Edge, saying that he knew many wont understand his choice but that anyone can install what he/she wants! (Which is the #1 point with Linux = you can do what you want instead of: you have to use what we give you and dare you try uninstalling it š)
I tried many Distros out in, letās say the last 20 years of using Windows, and my MAIN Problem was: Trying to do on Linux what I do on Windows! Till, three months ago, I installed CachyOS as Dualboot and set it up! Freed up my mind with what isnāt on Linux (Apps I used, wanted to use) and said myself again and again: Learn what Linux offers to you and take the Apps it already has! (Sorry I donāt know how to explain it correctly in english)
With that it mind Linux is the BEST thing ever happened in any way possible (OS and Apps).
I also got Affinity Suite to work!
I used MSYS2 on Windows which already uses pacman package manager to change or just translate some Apps for Switch Homebrew! I choosed a Distro wich is Arch Based because of SteamOS and because it was the first Distro that got me hooked, even if everyone normally is saying: Arch isnāt for Linux beginners! I love Arch Linux or Arch based, which is the Reason I donāt like using Bazzite, Chimera, Nobara! Donāt get me wrong they are also really good Distros, but itās not for me personally!
I buy often Game Packs from one site, and then have 40, 60 or even 100 Games in my SteamClient āuncategorizedā! Depressurizer is good but I wasnāt able to get it to work = That was the trigger to make something like Depressurizer but ābetterā and not on Windows as exe or this NET thing and then āconvertā it for Linux (we all know how bad conversions are š), I wanted to made it Linux ānativeā.
But it didnāt stop with Depressurizer Functions only! My mind dindāt Stop with Ideas I had/have in mind like the Idea with my āSmart Collectionsā I read to Threads on Steam Forums (Suggestions and Ideas) saying WHY Valve just have AND Logic in Dynamic Collections? I early found out I canāt change the Dynamic Collections of Steam (I tried), SteamLibraryManager can read Dynamic Collections (and gives them a ā” emoji in the App) and also can save them, or better leave them as they are, so that they are still dynamic collections in SteamClient, but I can make my own Collections that work in SteamLibraryManager with Groups and AND/OR/NOT Logic and are just treated in SteamClient as normal āstaticā collections. In SteamLibrayManager they are working like Dynamic Collections should work from the beginning!
OMG I am so SORRY, I am talking way too much!
Long Story short: I wrote it for Linux because Linux deserves it! And because we have to start to develop more and more on Linux!
BTW: Windows is loosing! YT Videos showed that DELL kicked Windows, next Video said Lenovo then HP and last Video I saw said that ASUS is now going the same way! 2026 is the year of Linux and I hope it is true š„°
This is rage bait right š
