As the tile says.



I would just try this myself but I don't currently have a distro of Linux running right now. Basically I would like to know if can shortcut a windows game or app that you have installed via wine so that it shows up in your steam library right along side your proper steam games.



Thanks in advance :)

  • I'm confused, what does wine have to do with steam? Are you asking if you can run games not supported in Linux through Wine and have them appear in your steam games list?

  • Sorry about that. I am asking if you can make a steam shortcut like you would with any non steam game or app. I've only used steam on windows so perhaps I'm confused about something. I am asking if you can shortcut a windows game/app that you have installed via wine to steam so that it shows up in your steam library.

Yes, you can.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/wiki/Working-with-non-Steam-games
This guide shows you how to do it. To get Windows games to work, simply make a .desktop file and in the exec line, put Wine with all your arguments and the path to the game and it should work just as if you were running it from the terminal.

            How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
