  • Eben (Junk Store) Interview
    • The interview with Eben, the creator of Junk-Store, reveals insights about the plugin's development, functionality, and future plans. Junk-Store is an open and extensible launcher framework for the Steam Deck, allowing games from various platforms to be launched using shell scripts without modifying the core plugin. Initially developed for personal use to run DOS games with Steam input on the Steam Deck, it evolved to support Epic Games and more, thanks to community feedback and Eben's continuous efforts. Despite the challenges and the extensive time investment required, Eben remains committed to enhancing Junk-Store's capabilities and addressing the gaps identified by the community.

Repacks

Repacks are highly compressed versions of games, ideal for users with slow or limited internet bandwidth. While they save on download time, installation can be lengthy as the files need to be fully decompressed.

DDL (Direct Download)

Direct Downloads involve obtaining files directly from a server through a web browser. This method is generally safer and typically doesn't require a VPN. However, if access to certain file hosting sites is restricted, a VPN may be necessary. Using a Download Manager is also recommended for a smoother download experience.
