    Steam Tinker Launch

    Steam Tinker Launch

    Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client for custom launch

    Steam Tinker Launch is a versatile Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client which allows for easy graphical configuration of game tools, such as GameScope, MangoHud, modding tools, and a bunch more. It supports both games using Proton and native Linux games and works on both X11 and Wayland. An incredible wrapper with a menu that lets you easily toggle and modify various settings for games on Linux. Anything from proton versions to startup and exit scripts, proton/dxvk/etc. settings, FSR, reshade, and even options for various tools like game mode, replay-sorcery, game scope, etc. Tons more too. I just set my default proton version to "steam tinker launcher" and then every game launches with a 2-second menu that allows you to easily change any of the settings. If you don't press any buttons it just goes with the defaults and launches the game.

    nQuake

    A QuakeWorld package containing everything needed to play QW right now

    NOTE: THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO GITHUB. Download from http://nquake.com Source code: http://github.com/nquake QuakeWorld is a very fragmented game. Installing QuakeWorld involves installing Quake, downloading a client, downloading textures, scripts, addons, maps and much more. nQuake does all this for you with a simple online installer. nQuake always installs a completely updated package of QuakeWorld that simply works. nQuake has become the standard within QuakeWorld, so even if you don't like the content of nQuake, it's a very good base for your installation. If you run into problems - simply install nQuake fresh and modify it until you are satisfied. Getting help with issues you bump into will be a lot easier if you started out with nQuake.
