Need to fix for the desktop version. Look for this comment:

            # FIXME 2/2024 valve seems to have moved the saves on desktop linux to $HOME/.local/share.  Also they are now
            # munging the name of that directory to change spaces to underscore.  NOTE: This change is not used on steamdeck.
            # See Baba Is You for an example of this bug.
            rootdir = os.path.join(steamApps, "common", installdir)
