Hi, all

How do you install a demo from steam, i have strugling both in steamdeck and mint.

Currently to test some games in desktop i have the work around of install under windows (the library is shared between linux and windows steams).

But in steamdeck i dont have a microsd with windows.

Thanks

You need to set a default compatibility tool for games that don't have one. I don't remember exactly where to find it and don't have access to look right now, but it's not really hidden in the settings menu.

I had the same issue once. I suspect that whatever version had been the default was removed for one reason or another, even though I never manually remove them.
