Legacy track (Launcher)

What it is

The legacy track is a traditional desktop application:

  • The UI directly owns the game library.
  • The UI launches games.
  • Focus is on being a high-quality KDE Plasma launcher with good keyboard/gamepad navigation.

What it is not

  • A system-level game session manager.
  • A daemon that monitors and manages sessions across launchers.

Why it exists

This track is the stable baseline and the fastest way to iterate on UX, importers, and per-game configuration.
