This is interesting, Bazzite abandoning Discover was the final straw for me to dump Bazzite on my TV pc and move back to Kubuntu. I don’t have GameMode anymore but the feeling of being in control is worth it so won’t be switching back

I use Bottles for this. Takes care of all the technical wine stuff I don’t understand and leave me with 1 “C:/” drive everything can be installed in to rather than having one for each app/game like Lutris does

If you have a subsonic/navidrome server I can not recommend Tempo highly enough!

https://github.com/CappielloAntonio/tempo

I have replaced autohotkeys with https://github.com/espanso/espanso

It does everything I need it to, although I am not sure if it can do the mouse button things you need

Does this work on a headless box?

Thanks for posting this! Was a very interesting read. I am deep into Logseq right now but this setup is tempting
