Product received for free

The app don't work on linux.

This is unfortunate since Valve Index is compatible with linux. But now i'm unable to check if my computers are. They should have developed it platform independent, so it also runs on linux and their own operating system, steam OS (which is a linux distribution).

It runs with Proton, but gives wrong results for operating system, GPU and USB.

have you preordered the steam deck? guess what, it's running linux ;)

valve is investing a lot to improve linux support of games and claims that all games on steam will run on the steam deck (on linux). i don't believe that 100% will work perfectly, but most. this is another huge step for linux gaming

Two years later and this tool still does not work.

The irony is that if you browse the app data files, you can see that it uses qt5 libraries. Funnily enough qt5 has good Linux support and in fact a lot of desktop environments in Linux rely heavily on qt5 libraries, so it wouldn't be that hard to get the UI part of this app ported over to Linux.
