Game Hub

Game stores, Windows games and apps, performance tools and Android apps

Game Hub sets up gaming in one click each. Steam, Heroic, Bottles and ProtonUp-Qt come from Flathub (sandboxed, with their own graphics runtime); GameMode, MangoHud and Lutris are Debian packages; Waydroid comes from its official repository.
