Was LinVST among the tools you tried? It works really well for my purchased VSTs.

Instead of calling them a bootlicker you could try to explain why you feel they are wrong.

Saving this comment just in case I ever end up in a similar situation. Very well explained!

This is actually a really good development. So far I have found that the best way to run non-Steam games is to add them to Steam because using Proton outside of Steam is not recommended.

So if Steam ever becomes worse for whatever reason, it is good to know there will be alternatives.

Agreed, I have Spotify premium for the convenience, but I have no illusions about where that money goes, which is why I go to concerts and buy vinyl records when possible.
