From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Installing GOG Games via CLI (lemmy.ml)

Hey all,

I have been searching online for this question, but was not able to get a solid answer. Is there a way/playbook for installing proton (regular and GE), setting prefixes, installing the GOG game, all over CLI?

The closest thing I found to this was maybe https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher, which I saw mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming#Game_launchers.

This question is more of me trying to learn more about game configuration on Linux over command-line rather than just relying on Steam, Lutris, Heroic, to do all the hard work for me. Any suggestions for this would be highly appreciated.

Edit: I would like to do this without https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/, if possible.

I believe that might be for games you access via the website. My situation is more for when you have the whole game downloaded offline and want to set it up.
