After too much time spent on google I finally found this lightweight GUI + CLI tool that finds locally installed games (yes including non-steam games running under proton) and thought I'd spread the gospel!

Combeined with something like dropbox/onedrive/nextcloud, or rsync/borg/syncthing etc you've got yourself cloud backups too.

Zero configuration involved so far on my Steam Deck which is nice as well.

Forgive me if it's old news ☺️

Its reliance on PCGW is problematic. Anyone can edit it and there are cases of the wiki paths being wildly incorrect. Good luck finding the config of the Game Pass version of Starfield at this location.

not open source, unfortunately.

Yeah, guess I missed that point. And Windows, Doh.

Does half of Lemmy come from the same town, or has closed source software poisoned more than one well?

[-] whou@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, a lot of lemmy users were already into free software as a whole and liked lemmy because it's libre and federated. So it's only natural you see the focus on software freedom everywhere.

I just think that we should strive to use libre alternatives, especially when they are as useful/better than closed source ones.

The philosophical side of free software is much more important to me than anything else. For me, it's not just about using open source software for the sake of it. It's about software freedom.

But I don't go around telling everyone to use open source or die. If you just don't like the libre alternative and prefer using closed source software, whatever. If there isn't a general reason to use a closed source software, I'll just point out the libre alternative (or try to convince that a somewhat inferior libre alternative may not be that bad) :)

Does this work on Linux natively?

I use syncthing to backup files to a different device

Best way to do this is to just find your save file location , and make your own backups..

You don't need some program to scan your system for you.

Doing this every few minutes is annoying af. Wanted a tool like this for ages.

It kinda is old news but something that's alright to bring up from time to time.
