Sail Hub Sail Launcher
Sail Launcher is a game and app launcher for Windows and Linux. It keeps your library, playtime, achievements, saves and mods in one place, and you can change pretty much how all of it looks.

Windows and Linux#
Sail runs on both from the same code. On Linux, native games launch directly and Windows games run through Proton. Linux support is in beta: a few things aren't there yet, and the Linux install page lists them.
