Some games come as Linux native + dosbox "Classic" version, e.g. https://steamdb.info/app/225140/info/ We would like to maintain original Linux version running besides native dosbox.

There's no good way to address it directly in steam-dos (as static "from_os" field points to Windows), but there might be a workarounds; out of the top of my head I can think of two:

  • separate build that focuses on linux->linux
  • downloading from linux depots using same mechanism steam-cmd uses

Closing, as both workarounds are too hacky; for the time being I don't plan on working on it.

If someone finds this feature request worthwhile, feel free to ask for reopening this issue, good suggestions how to handle it will be appreciated.
