ProtonTricks for headtracking on Bazzite vs Fedora
Goal: Run OpenTrack (headtracking software) for Steam games on Bazzite. Compiling OpenTrack for Linux results in missing features (known issue), so attempting to run the Windows portable executable.
Result:
On Fedora using ProtonTricks from the official repo (not flatpak), running the following command results in headtracking properly sent to games and everything working as expected:
protontricks -c "wine /path/to/app/opentrack.exe" steamappidhere
On Bazzite using flatpak ProtonTricks, running the same command results in OpenTrack running, but no headtracking data is sent to the game.
Short of uninstalling ProtonTricks flatpak and layering repo ProtonTricks, is there some other permission or limitation that can be worked around to make this work? I tried various permissions in Flatseal for ProtonTricks without success. Thanks in advance.14 replies
