I managed to get the game's textures working well through Lutris with this script I found!

It'll compile and install latest mesa, just make sure you add the wrapper script to the command in the lutris config for the launcher and it should work great.
Managed to make it work first try with this script on my KDE plasma/debian testing setup after wrestling with the textures issue for several days.
I have a bit of a prototype software package and service to serve jellyfin content on satellite devices, if you want to have a look: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook/tree/v2
It's actually mostly complete and fully functional, just in need of some serious documentation and installation instructions hahah.
If you're interested in trying it out, feel free to send me a PM and I'd be happy to help!
For a second I thought I had made the perfect solution for this, but then I realized my problem was the opposite. I was looking for a way to receive notifications from systems that can only send emails. So I quickly made the Mail2Gotify service and have been using it for the past while.
I'll post it here anyway in case you want to switch from emails to Gotify in the future!
Definitely the way to go, yt-dlp makes it so easy to automate too!
If you ever decide to move away from Chromecast to something a bit more DIY, I'm almost done making a decent casting replacement! Currently working on default and changing subtitles.

Send me a message if you ever find yourself interested in setting it up!
I'm currently working hard on something to fill this void! I've made HomeHook v2 as a web app and HomeCast as an mpv interface installed on my HTPC and some Pis I have around the house!
I still need to document the installation procedure but if you're interested in playing stuff from Jellyfin and YouTube, feel free to send me a message and I'll see if I can help out!
I feel like I can't be the only immature one here...
My NAS is called AY-NAS.
I've got a bunch of Rpis named things like DANK-SBC, WONK-SBC and RAW-SBC.
I made a simple budgeting web app: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Casheesh
My wife and have used it almost every day for the past couple of years to give ourselves and track fun budget money. It's been working really well!
Figuring out and emulating how the steam deck handles it is a great idea, I'll do some research.
Thanks for the info!
I was looking at Cage yesterday, but it seems like it wouldn't support a transparent always on top application, in a way to give control to any application underneath. Maybe I could experiment with it and see what I can do...
I'm not sure I could make a transparent overlay on top of MPV with just a Firefox kiosk.
Also, I'm curious why I should avoid Electron? Do you have another framework to suggest that would let me do this?
I'm not against learning new things if they're more adequate for my project!
I made a service for this a while back:
https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook
However, development of it has stopped in favor of v2, where I drop Chromecast support and instead focused on making a companion player service running on an htpc or rPi.
Let me know if you have any questions, I can try to help!
