Install for Windows Games is Greyed Out
Hi. I've got a new Bazzite install on an old laptop, Dell Lattitude 3310, just completed installing using GNOME (I also have a Steam Deck; Still running SteamOS on that, so I'm somewhat familiar with Linux.)
When I run Steam on the Dell using Bazzite Steam it updates fine and lets me install Linux games without problem, but anything Windows is greyed out. I thought at first this was a Proton issue but saw that ProtonPlus was installed; I installed ProtonUp-Qt and Protontricks anyway (the more the merrier, right?), but that didn't seem to do anything to enable the Install button (which makes sense since that's an outside program; why would it be "connected"?).
I remember that I ran into trouble with the SteamDeck when using the Itch.io launcher/installer where, if I used the Linux version of the launcher it would only ever install the Linux versions of the games, so I wasn't sure if that might be some of the issue here, that Steam is the Linux "version", so only wants to install Linux versions of games?
Has anyone come across this issue at all? Anyone know of a fix/workaround? And is this a GNOME issue, maybe, that I need to use KDE to have access to the same repos that Steam uses on the Steam Deck?
I'm a bit stumped
