This page will only focus on the 2 distros I have interacted and installed STL on, Linux Mint and Fedora 41.

Starting with my current DE, Linux mint. Source: r/linux_gaming

In terminal add these commands:

sudo apt install git libglib2.0-dev libtool autoconf automake intltool libgtk-3-dev build-essential
git clone https://github.com/v1cont/yad.git yad-dialog-code
cd yad-dialog-code
autoreconf -ivf && intltoolize
./configure && make
sudo make install
gtk-update-icon-cache
sudo apt install xdotool

UPDATE as of April 19 2026 @ 3:43 AM (yes i am loser)

If you are having problems with your installation (as I was on my current laptop running LM22.3) with getting yad to install, there has been a a wonderful write up here. Good luck with whatever game you want to mod!

For fedora 41. Source: discussion.fedoraproject.org

In terminal:

sudo dnf copr enable capucho-steamtinkerlaunch
sudo dnf install steamtinkerlaunch
