Steamdeck compatibility could take a huge leap forward with ULWGL-launcher, a universal game compatibility tool and collaborative effort between Glorious Eggroll, Lutris, Bottles, and Heroic Launcher!

The mind behind the Proton-GE and Wine-GE tools for Steam Deck is turning their attention to game support outside of Valve's launcher.
I dunno how to pronounce that acronym, so I'm going with "You'll Wiggle."
Those star trek spin-offs are getting ridiculous.
Thanks? I hate it lol
Lol when it was first announced, everyone said that people would fork it just to change the name for this reason. I prefer to keep it this way.
I love it! 😄
Thats good news for the Steamdeck.
Probably a good news for Linux gaming in general, too.
Yeah good for everything.
Finally linux developers started to understand a bit of "make an app great and keep it like that".
Usually linux has parcour in terms of apps.
Yes and no. I could hop on to a 50 year old Unix machine and operate it pretty much the way I use my contemporary Linux computer, thanks to the standard Unix tools being both great and ancient.

parcours

parcours du combattant assault course

I don't know much about linux but as far as I understand it says linux get more compatibility?! Monkey sees monkey upvotes and shares
There's a lot of projects to help get Windows games working better on Linux, and this effort is basically all those projects coming together to work on making the 'ultimate' project that will make it easier than ever to game on Linux! :D
I only just heard about ULWGL from a nice Threadiverser a couple of days ago, and now TIL!
So all the codebases won't be merged into one, but a new codebase is made to launch games through existing launchers?
Well the interesting part of this is that they will collaborate on the engine but the frontend will still be independent.
I think this is a sound strategy (if I understood it well) as the key differentiators remain but the hard parts (running the damn things) become collaborative.
This also IMO helps a lot user experience, as dealing with broken scripts, mysterious wine settings and keeping up with version changes makes playing a game a big ordeal compared with other platforms (In some cases like old games, it can be worse).
If you are correct, this is indeed a great stride in the right direction! Thank you for the input.
