Running LaunchBox and Big Box on Linux

I would love it on my steam deck 🙏

It's ridiculous that you have not been developing Linux  compatibility the whole time.  Now that Linux is breaking into gaming, you are way behind the times.  Windows 11 handed everyone a chance to start fresh and Linux is finally at a point of quality to take advantage of the situation.  Launchbox could have been right there on the edge with Steam if they had thought ahead a little bit.  This was not a sudden development and it was an easy prediction.

Now we have to leave Launchbox behind and I am kinda irritated about it because it did not have to be that way.

I agree, I really don't want to leave LaunchBox behind, I like the ease of setup and ease of use. For now it's the only reason my GPD Win4 is still running Win11.

I don't think it is ridiculous in the least. Because it isn't on our timeline, it doesn't mean that they are being slack and can't make up for any perceived lost time easy enough with a strong product.
