Says an error occurred and I can't get the link, can you send it here?

By install another distro, I meant install a distro that has a nonfree repo(I'm using pureos), and just boot from a usb. I'm not sure how steam is packaged, but I'd imagine it would go against the point of a distro like pureos.

Thanks for the invite, I decided to have a squizz at the github, and saw that

RUNNING NON-STEAM GAMES WITH PROTON OUTSIDE OF STEAM IS NOT SUPPORTED. DO NOT ASK FOR HELP WITH THIS:

Do you think that Wine-GE might be better for GOG games? I remember Wine-GE working fine for me before.

Thanks for the input, do you use the official steam client?

It's just a preference, I prefer downloading from GOG, without the DRM or proprietary clients. Edit: I know steam has an open source command line tool

Proton is Wine with prefixes

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that it includes prefixes with it?

emulation for old games isn't so demanding

By old, I meant 2010 to 2015, which is where my laptop reaches it's limits. I've tried ps3 emulation and it couldn't pull that off, and there is no emulator for 360 on linux(that I know of).

Yeah check out my edited comment, some of the links I provided weren't accurate

Of course, it's understandable. You've got a pretty solid selection of devices to start your Android modification journey. Eventually, you won't need any guides, It's just a matter of experience. I think I tried rooting or flashing new OSes to three devices before I really got the hang of it. Also, I've just reviewed a few of my links and some of them aren't the highest quality or the most comprehensible, so I'll edit my comment soon.

OP did google, just didn't find good guides.

I actually have done a massive amount of research but most of the instructions I’ve found are vague in some respects, sometimes they’re outdated, and sometimes they just assume too much. I’ve literally seen ones that say like “1. Unlock boot loader. 2. Load new rom. 3…. Etc” I was like “uh… how about any clue on how to do those things? Even a link to sub-procedures where it’s already documented.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues like that, I can imagine how that would be upsetting. If you do hit a roadblock like that, I'm sure that people can help if you post here. I only said my original comment because I didn't understand the question right. I misinterpreted and thought that you were asking for something like my second comment, with every single device listed and a guide or something on how to root it. Guides really do vary in quality, and your mileage really will vary with them.

Thank you! Unfortunately I was one of the negative commenters. Didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to ask that you do a bit of searching before asking questions, I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole.
