Unfortunately he lost me when he said he dual booted Debian. Was hoping for something with docker/distrobox that could allow for root without being wiped on updates. I already dual boot SteamOS and windows 10, and run very small solo servers for things like Everquest.

My ideal solution is finding a way to containerize a server like that, launch it via game mode along with the client to make the most use of Steam Input. I can do it on the windows side of the house, but requires things like Glosi and playnite to get setup, and just isn’t as streamlined as I would like it to be.
