I’m pretty much gaming on linux the entire year and most of the time using lutris or steam.

Some days ago I used Heroic Games Launcher and notice that the Documents folder from my linux machine was linked to the wine prefix heroic created for my game and my save/configs was nicely stored on my PC.

I know that on steam the prefix is stored in …/steamapps/compatdata/, is that any option on steam or lutris to automatic set theses symlinks? Steam have the steam cloud to backup saves but is always nice to have alternatives.

More details: My steam games is on a different disk of my linux so I don’t know if the behaviour that I’m asking is the default and my disk configuration is messing something up.

      There’s no automatic way to do so other than writing a script for it yourself.

      Lots of work and complexity to do something with the goal of making life easier.

      But you’d be making life harder, not easier. Plus I’m personally not a fan of bringing over the windows mindset of turning our Documents folder into a dumping ground for application files… And not documents.

      Linux already has a folder for that, .config.
