I haven’t used Bazzite, but I recently needed to find my save data on PopOS for a steam game that runs with proton, and it was so buried in subfolders that I only found it after asking chatgpt.
Depends on the game engine I suppose. You can just browse up a few directories inside the prefix and find the second common place. Usually it’s c:\users<username>\appdata\ and sometimes even get stored in My Documents.
But using steam to browse files will get you directly into the prefix. After that it’s a matter of browsing around to the common locations the same as you would on windows.

You literally just right click the game in Steam and click browse files.
Don’t most games keep save files separately from the main game files?

could you not open a console and use find or grep?
I don’t have much experience searching like that yet and still default to using the gui for navigating directories… I’m still a relative linux noob.
ah. makes sense.
find is really easy.
find -type f -name "*wildcard_filename*"find -type d -name "*wildcard_directoryname*"I’ll have to remember this, thanks.
