I think appimage would be enough or maybe even better? However if there is a way to add it as a flatpak app and there's a script for that, I think it shouldn't be hard to do. What about wget, is it available on Steam Deck by default? What about python? Is it available on Steam Deck by default? Does flatpak version install python?
Common Redistributables can be easily installed from the client or using steam steam://install/228980
so I'll just add a info about it.
Good news!
So I tried to package Steam Metadata Editor as an appimage and I failed :D
Buut there's this!: https://github.com/niess/python-appimage
I removed python and tk from my system and changed ./steammetadataeditor
-s to ./x.AppImage steammetadataeditor -s
.
tk is only needed for GUI.
So the problem's (rather) solved!
Okay but.. I actually wonder.. Steam has dependency python.
Steam depends on python and Steam Deck has it installed so there is no need for a workaround.. Closed.
I like your approach but (as I'm getting a steam deck) would be good to make sure we have an approach that works on that platform?
Do you think downloading steam-edit will run without anything else on a steam deck?
Maybe we would script to install steam edit as a flatpak? https://github.com/tijder/Steam-Metadata-Editor/tree/flatpak ?
Would also be good to introduce an option to install the "Common distributables" like I do on assfix? as I think that is also a big reason things fail?
