Seems to me like there should be something like a "Docker for games" which uses container tech to create a lightweight, predictable execution environment for video games.
I suppose that's kind of what Proton does, although it focuses on emulating a Windows environment in particular.
- e2le 6y agoSounds like something that AppImage is perfectly suited for, given that each application is a one-click executable with automatic updating built-in and can optionally provide a predictable execution environment although it's not a container. In one particular case, I packaged up Mirrors Edge into an AppImage with the AppRun script taking care to setup the environment and WINE. It worked surprisingly well.
