Could you build this?
Partial Creating a standard UI is easy, but integrating a Linux desktop game launcher with native display servers, gamepad inputs, wine/proton runner management, and system daemons requires low-level Linux expertise.
What it would actually take: Built with GTK/Qt/Electron or Tauri interfacing with Linux system APIs, D-Bus, evdev for gamepad input handling, and Vulkan/OpenGL compositing. The hard part is managing game execution environments, Wine/Proton prefixes, and controller navigation seamlessly in a full-screen standalone session.
