NonSteamLaunchers gets booted from Steam Deck plugin store Decky Loader
There's a bit of unfortunate drama going on right now in Steam Deck land, with the Steam Deck plugin NonSteamLaunchers for Decky Loader getting the boot.
FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]
I'm always pointing out that public modlogs are good because they help prevent abusive mods.

Maybe they should've, you know, looked at the site for 2 minutes before signing up. The modlog is linked at the bottom of every page.
TIL, that is amazing!
And nothing of value was lost
That's insane, honestly didn't expect that. How did he abuse his mod powers?
Being rude doesn't get you too far in OSS.
But uh.. Linus is kinda rude NGL. Part of his charm no?
No, it's not. It's tolerated because of his importance.
So I've been reading through the deck homebrew discord trying to figure that out. A user claimed he was racist, and got him banned/kicked out of Decky over it. However as far as I can tell, no evidence of him being racist was ever posted, and the user that got him banned left the server afterwards.
It does sound like he was quick to get into arguments with some other users, but that's not officially what he was banned over.
There may be better evidence I'm missing, there are a lot of messages discussing it in the server, but I see several people there claiming that banning him without evidence was an overreaction, so I'm assuming there isn't anything concrete that I've missed.
My personal opinion from what I've seen is that I think the ban should be reversed, it seems like a shame to deprive the entire deck community from a useful tool unless there's something more concrete I'm not seeing.
Does anyone know of a similar alternative? Junk Store only covers Epic unless you donate. I know I could use Lutris and/or Heroic and manually add the non steam games that way. I do like the ability to see them in the non steam tab on my deck in gaming mode.
Heroic has the option to automatically add games to steam. Also it works quite well in game mode if you add it as a non steam game and can then be controlled entirely with a controller. That’s the most convenient option I found.
Thanks! I guess I missed that bit when I initially set it up. I'll try this out. :)
I just wish the controller worked on the store pages
