I got my steam deck a few weeks ago! I've been running things like Epic Games, Battlenet, WoW classic and other programs not native to steam pretty regularly, as my library is spread out. I've found a lot of guides here and elsewhere really helpful.
However I'm wondering if there's a site/resource similar to ProtonDB, that notes things like ideal controller/settings/proton version/profiles etc for non-native steam games/programs?
As an example, WoW classic guides show how to get bnet, how to install wow and sometimes the correct location/resolution. They also suggest an addon called Consoleport.
This leads to 3 different keybinding profiles (Steam deck, WoW, Consoleport), which gets messy quickly. It also needs a few interfacing options checked to work okay, and a lot of the usual tweaks to make it baseline useable. It gets buggy, and I don't even know if the addon is still needed these days.
I think most people could work it out over time. I'm cognitively disabled and can piece together parts from old posts here/elsewhere, but have a lot of trouble. I'm wondering if there's any other resources I'm missing for trying to run non-steam programs?
I understand if this doesn't exist yet haha. Thanks for your time :)
