Download smog

One AppImage for x86_64 Linux. No installer, no root, no account. It finds your Steam library and Proton versions on its own.

The launcher is coming soon.

The first AppImage is still being tested on real hardware before it goes up. Until then you can browse the catalog, and every entry page shows exactly what the launcher will install and from where.

Browse the catalog

Install and run

Download the file, make it executable and run it. You can keep it anywhere; your home folder or ~/Applications is a good spot.

$ chmod +x smog-x86_64.AppImage
$ ./smog-x86_64.AppImage

If it will not start and mentions FUSE, install your distribution's fuse2 or libfuse2 package, or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Verify the download

Compare the file's SHA-256 with the one listed above. The two must match exactly.

$ sha256sum smog-x86_64.AppImage

After that, smog updates itself. Updates are signed, and the launcher refuses any update whose signature does not match the minisign key compiled into it. The catalog of games is signed the same way, with a separate key; you can check it by hand:

$ curl -s --remote-name-all https://smog.games/catalog/catalog.json{,.minisig} https://smog.games/catalog/smog-catalog.pub
$ minisign -Vm catalog.json -p smog-catalog.pub
