How to make an bootable USB drive

• Copy all the files that is inside the usbXXXXXX.zip or on the CD onto an usb drive, directly on the drive, not inside any directory/folder.
• It is OK if there are other files on the USB drive from before, they will not be removed.
• To install bootloader on the USB drive, open a windows command prompt (if possible run it as administrator) and run X:syslinux.exe -ma X:
  • Replace X with the drive letter of the USB drive (DO NOT USE C:)
• If it seems like nothing happened, it is usually done.
• A file named ldlinux.sys may appear on the USB drive, that is normal.
• The drive should now be bootable.
• Please know that getting some computers to boot from USB is worse than from CD, you may have to change settings, or some will not simply work at all.

Backup saves of steam games run via proton

Find the game id in games folder

Under "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common", locate the game folder of your interest. Usually it has a file named steam_appid.txt, which stores the identifier used by steam to create the game save folder.

If steam_appid.txt is not present in the game folder, you can still identify the game id by searching it into "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/userdata/XXXXXXXXX" directory.

XXXXXXXXX is your steam ID. There you will find one folder for each game, the folder names are the game ids.
