What could someone do to add their DRM free games and music to their steam deck and to steam so they could be enjoy there? Could they play their drm free games on the stream deck from humble bundle? Especially humble bundle and itch.io.

    Install via Lutris, with the option “Install windows exe”. Tick the box to add a shortcut to steam.

    Works natively, it’s meant to do exactly that, never had a problem doing that, and it can all be done from the deck itself, no other machine involved :)

    For games:

    1. Open desktop mode
    2. Install the game as you would normally on a Linux machine, i.e. if the game has a native installer use it, otherwise use wine, Lutris or whatever you’re used to run windows installer on Linux.
    3. Add non-steam game shortcut

    For music I have never tried it.

      Is there a way to add the game from within lutris to take advantage of steam input? Got some humble games ready to go but they are inside lutris and need to go in steam gaming mode.

        Never used Lutris, but I think I read somewhere that it has an option to add the games to steam instead of doing it through steam.

    Easiest solution I’ve found is to install the game on a Windows pc, then transfer the files using something like FileZilla, then adding the game as a non steam game in desktop mode and enabling proton via properties in steam.

    Every game I’ve tried this with has worked
