I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a “fake c:/ windows hierarchy” can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine? Does it save which proton version was used? If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?
Very informative thanks! Do you have a specific article that you’d suggest on bottles? Or does it have a decent wiki?
Not really. Just install bottles, usage is extremely self-explanatory as the UI is very good.
But if you need more details, the bottles docs are great.
