I’m thinking about making a dedicated gaming PC which is to be shared in our household. ChimeraOS/HoloISO seems the ideal solution to that… Except that games thay it means that all save files of games that don’t use Steam Cloud OR write save files on Valve’s recommended directory are shared between users.
Is there any tool that can recognize the current active Steam User and swap save files on the background? The other solution is to forego using HoloISO/ChimeraOS/SteamOS and install a traditional distro and make different users have different system accounts, but that sounds a nightmare to deal with due to Steam Family Sharing requiring that all steam users are logged into each system users, so the library is shared across all of them. Not to mention config files are going to be separated as well…
I ran into a similar issue a while back. What I ended up doing was creating a admin account and then hiding it from the SDDM login screen. Then create your standard user accounts that login from SDDM without a password (You just press enter). Now you can select the user and every steam account is separate.
Only thing I haven’t been able to do is get a controller to work on sddm but I haven’t really tried yet. 😂
