There are a lot of options that aren’t nix. Ansible, chef, puppet, salt, etc. Basically any config management solution.

Works fine for me so far from steam on linux.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve dealt with so many servers where someone ran chmod -R 777 / thinking it’d solve all of their permission issues.

Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.
