Is this stuff really not turning away more customers than it's bringing in?

Hello,

Is there a general way to get EAC working after you get an error about it not being installed?

In my example, the outlast trials put out an update just recently that added pvp (for some reason) and in doing so they've added EAC. Apparently it should still work, because they claim it's fine on steam deck but on my desktop pc it does not. I haven't installed it on my steam deck to see, but if it can work there then I feel like there's something I should be able to do to get it working on my desktop.

I run fedora on there and aside from using rpmfusion to get some drivers i have done nothing to get gaming to work outside of installing steam and letting it handle it. Thanks for any help.

Hi there.
I just got my first steam deck earlier this week, so I've been watching tutorial videos on installing and setting up things such as decky or emudeck. One thing that seems odd to me but I'm definitely noticing as a trend is that these videos are having you download an installer, then move that file to the desktop, then run the installer.

As long as I've been using computers I've always just run the installer right from wherever it downloaded to, including in Linux and haven't seen an issue. I did that here too and they installed just fine as far as I can tell. Is there something I'm missing about this? Why would multiple videos mention this step if it didn't matter?

My guess is this doesn't matter, but i thought it was interesting.
