It is in a pre-alpha state right now\nand under heavy development, so expect things to break.\n\nKaon collects basic anonymous usage information to help inform development; these analytics\ncan be disabled in the settings page.\n\n## Features\n\n- Scan games installed via Steam, Heroic, and Itch\n- Install any UEVR release, including nightly builds\n- Install the .NET runtime in Proton to make UEVR work\n\n## Known issues\n\n- When you install or delete a Steam game, you must restart Steam before Kaon will properly register the change.\n  Otherwise, Steam does not fully flush its configuration to disk, so Kaon cannot read it.\n- Flatpak and Snap installations of stores are not supported at the moment; however, support is planned.\n- Custom games assume you are launching them using your system's wineprefix (i.e. reads the WINEPREFIX environment \n  variable; if not set, falls back to ~/.wine). If you are using custom wineprefixes for your games, UEVR will not\n  detect them.\n\n## Screenshot\n\n![Screenshot of Kaon](https://github.com/LorenDB/Kaon/blob/master/screenshot.png)\n\n## Download\n\nYou can download the latest release of Kaon [on the releases page](https://github.com/LorenDB/kaon/releases/latest).\n\nAlternatively, bleeding-edge builds are available via CI. To get them, click on the latest workflow run\n[here](https://github.com/LorenDB/kaon/actions) and download the AppImage artifact.\n\n## Building from source\n\nYou'll need the latest Qt installed to build Kaon. Older Qt versions may work, but I tend to use new Qt\nfeatures as they come out, so I only officially support the most recent release of Qt.\n\n``` bash\ngit clone https://github.com/LorenDB/kaon.git\ncd kaon\nmkdir build\ncd build\ncmake ..\ncmake --build .\n\n./src/kaon\n```\n\nYou can also just open CMakeLists.txt as a project in Qt Creator and press Ctrl+R to run the project.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["linux"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FLorenDB%2Fkaon","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FLorenDB%2Fkaon","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FLorenDB%2Fkaon/lists"}
