You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge... Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os's but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.

Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.

If your collection is in GOG or itch.io, yes you can do that. But I don’t think there’s a good practical way to do it with Steam games.

Jc141 does compress games in a wine wrapper for ready use on Linux using dwarFS. I could see those working for this is it’s a steam only release. So if you put in the work yourself to do something similar then maybe so. I think must be including Goldberg emulator or something in there to keep them running without steam.
