[Suggestion] Make steam-buddy manage Steam games about chimera HOT 4 OPEN

Yes, I was thinking about something like this as well. Thanks for doing the research.

I am not sure that showing the Steam games and installing them is all that useful. I can imagine being able to see download progress might be useful though.

I also recall the steam website and app being able to initiate a game install and monitor progress in the past, but last I looked I couldnt do this anymore.

The page where you can install games is still available. Go to your profile and the to games. It does not allow you to install games with proton, though, and the API doesn't seem to be documented. We may be able to reverse engineer it, but we'd probably have to let users log in to the steam website then.

I think installing games could be useful if we implement authentication, some other security features and upnp. Then you can fully manage your GamerOS machine when you're not home through steam-buddy.

There is some documentation for the other API here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi_overview

Stopping steam has been implemented. I've updated my post on how to do this, since the command which is found in the SteamOS script no longer works (not even on SteamOS).
