What is Shortix?
Shortix is a Bash script that creates human-readable symlinks for Proton game prefixes on Linux systems like the Steam Deck. It scans installed games using Protontricks and generates organized shortcuts to game directories and shader caches, making it easier to access and manage game files without navigating cryptic folder paths.
