Conductor

Description

All in one solution for managing all games within steam.

Goals of this project

Enabling batch (un)installation of games with tools such as ansible or plain shell scripts
Create a tool for managing mods for all steam games
- This includes downloading, installing, updating and removing mods
- Letting the user define virtual file systems for mods, much like Mod Organizer 2 but for linux
Letting the user define game profiles that specify launch options, environment variables, etc. for official steam games in an effort to make linux gaming even more accessible.
- Allow users to share these profiles with others
- Find a way to allow users to map these profiles with their hardware configurations to make it easier for others to discover compatibility fixes
