Use GameHub to Manage All Your Linux Games in One Place 用GameHub集中管理Linux上你的所有游戏
How do you play games on Linux? Let me guess. Either you install games from the software center or from Steam or from GOG or Humble Bundle etc, right? But, how do you plan to manage all your games from multiple launchers and clients? Well, that sounds like a hassle to me – which is why I was delighted when I come across GameHub. 你在Linux 上怎么玩游戏呢? 让我猜猜， 要不就是从软件中心安装游戏，要不就是选Steam,GOG, Humble Bundle 等平台，对吧？但是，你对多个游戏启动器和客户打算如何管理呢？好吧，对我来说这简直令人头疼 —— 这也是我发现GameHub之后，感到高兴的原因。
GameHub is a desktop application for Linux distributions that lets you manage “All your games in one place”. That sounds interesting, isn’t it? Let me share more details about it.
GameHub是为Linux发行版设计的一个桌面应用，它能“集中管理你的所有游戏”。这听起来很有趣，是不是？让我来具体说明一下。
GameHub Features to manage Linux games from different sources at one place
Let’s see all the features that make GameHub one of the essential Linux applications, specially for gamers. 让我们来看看，尤其对玩家来说，让GameHub成为一个不可或缺的Linux应用的功能，都有哪些。
Steam, GOG & Humble Bundle 支持
It supports Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle account integration. You can sign in to your account to see manager your library from within GameHub.
它支持Steam, GOG, 和 Humble Bundle 账户整合。你可以登录你的GameHub账号，从而在库管理器中管理所有游戏。
For my usage, I have a lot of games on Steam and a couple on Humble Bundle. I can’t speak for all – but it is safe to assume that these are the major platforms one would want to have. 对我来说，我在Steam上有很多游戏，Humble Bundle上也有一些。我不能确保它能支持所有平台。但确信的是，主流平台是可以保证的。
Native Game Support 本地游戏支持
There are several websites where you can find and download Linux games. You can also add native Linux games by downloading their installers or add the executable file. 很多网站都有专门推荐Linux游戏，并支持下载。你可以通过下载安装包，或者添加可执行文件加入本地游戏。
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way of finding out games for Linux from within GameHub at the moment. So, you will have to download them separately and add it to the GameHub as shown in the image above.
可惜的是，在GameHub上，无法在线搜索Linux游戏。如上图所示，你需要将各平台游戏分开下载，随后添加到自己的GameHub账号中。
模拟器支持
With emulators, you can play retro games on Linux. As you can observe in the image above, you also get the ability to add emulators (and import emulated images). 在模拟器方面，你可以玩Linux上的retro game。正如上图所示，你可以添加模拟器（或者导入模拟器游戏）。
You can see RetroArch listed already but you can also add custom emulators as per your requirements. 你可以在RetroArch查看可添加的模拟器，但也能根据需求，自行添加模拟器。
用户界面
Of course, the user experience matters. Hence, it is important to take a look at its user interface and what it offers. 当然，用户体验很重要。因此，探究下用户界面都有什么，是很重要的。
To me, I felt it very easy to use and the presence of a dark theme is a bonus. 我个人觉得，这一应用很容易使用，并且黑色主题是一个加分点。
手柄支持
If you are comfortable using a controller with your Linux system to play games – you can easily add it, enable or disable it from the settings. 如果你习惯了在Linux系统上用手柄玩游戏 —— 你可以在设置中很轻松地添加，启用或禁用它。
多个数据提供商
Just because it fetches the information (or metadata) of your games, it needs a source for that. You can see all the sources listed in the image below. 因为它需要获取你游戏的信息（或元数据），也就意味着需要数据源。你可以看到上图列表中显示的所有数据源。
You don’t have to do anything here – but if you are using anything else other than steam as your platform, you can generate an API key for IDGB.
这里你什么也不用做 —— 但如果你需要使用其他平台，而不是steam的话，你需要为IDGB生成一个API密钥。
I shall recommend you to do that only if you observe a prompt/notice within GameHub or if you have some games that do not have any description/pictures/stats on GameHub. 我建议你，只有在你看到GameHub上出现提示/或者通知时，或者你发现在GameHub上，有些游戏没有任何描述/图片/状态时，再这么做。
兼容性选项
Do you have a game that does not support Linux? 你有不支持在Linux上运行的游戏吗？
You do not have to worry. GameHub offers multiple compatibility layers like Wine/Proton which you can use to get the game installed in order to make it playable. 你不需要太担心。GameHub上提供了 We can’t be really sure on what works for you – so you have to test it yourself for that matter. Nevertheless, it is an important feature that could come handy for a lot of gamers.
How Do You Manage Your Games in GameHub?
You get the option to add Steam/GOG/Humble Bundle account right after you launch it.
For Steam, you need to have the Steam client installed on your Linux distro. Once, you have it, you can easily link the games to GameHub.
For GOG & Humble Bundle, you can directly sign in using your credentials to get your games organized in GameHub.
If you are adding an emulated image or a native installer, you can always do that by clicking on the “+” button that you observe in the top-right corner of the window.
How Do You Install Games?
For Steam games, it automatically launches the Steam client to download/install (I wish if this was possible without launching Steam!)
But, for GOG/Humble Bundle, you can directly start downloading to install the games after signing in. If necessary, you can utilize the compatibility layer for non-native Linux games.
In either case, if you want to install an emulated game or a native game – just add the installer or import the emulated image. There’s nothing more to it.
GameHub: How do you install it?
To start with, you can just search for it in your software center or app center. It is available in the Pop!_Shop. So, it can be found in most of the official repositories.
If you don’t find it there, you can always add the repository and install it via terminal by typing these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tkashkin/gamehub
sudo apt update
sudo apt install com.github.tkashkin.gamehub
In case you encounter “add-apt-repository command not found” error, you can take a look at our article to help fix add-apt-repository not found error.
There are also AppImage and Flatpak versions available. You can find installation instructions for other Linux distros on its official webpage.
Also, you have the option to download pre-release packages from its GitHub page.
Wrapping Up
GameHub is a pretty neat application as a unified library for all your games. The user interface is intuitive and so are the options.
