  • I’m very suspicious of the uses cases for this. If the compiled bash code is unreadable then what’s the point of compiling to bash instead of machine code like normal? It might be nice if you’re using it as your daily shell but if someone sent me “compiled” bash code I wouldn’t touch it. My general philosophy is if your bash script gets too long, move it to python.

    The only example I can think of is for generating massive install.sh





  • Its unusual to install retroarch via pacman and launch it with steam. Usually its either:

    • install via pacman dont use steam at all.
    • install via steam and launch via steam.

    I suspect steam is running the retroarch with different environment variables (ie LD_PRELOAD) than your system. I dont know what those would be or what to set them to if I did.

    You can try experimenting with using steam-native and steam-runtime to check if there is a difference. You can also try to install retroarch via steam, find its executable in ~/.local/share and adjust your script accordingly.
