docs: add YAML frontmatter to all 151 markdown files 
Adds title, description, type, domain, and tags frontmatter to every
doc for improved KB semantic search. The description field is prepended
to every search chunk, and domain/type/tags enable filtered queries.

Type values: context, guide, runbook, reference, troubleshooting
Domain values match directory structure (networking, docker, etc.)

Gaming Configuration Context

Technology Overview

Steam Tinker Launch (STL) provides advanced configuration options for running Windows games on Linux through Steam's Proton compatibility layer. This directory contains configurations, scripts, and documentation for gaming setups.

Key Components

Steam Tinker Launch (STL)

  • Purpose: Advanced Proton configuration and game-specific tweaks
  • Config Location: ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/
  • Game Configs: ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/gamecfgs/
  • Global Settings: ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/global.conf

Hardware

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8C/16T)
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (16GB VRAM)
  • Display (primary): 2560x1440 @ 120Hz OLED with HDR
  • Display (secondary): 2560x1440 @ 60Hz (no HDR)

Configuration Patterns

Standard Baseline (all games)

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI="1"           # Required for GPU detection
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU="0"        # MUST be 0 - do NOT hide GPU
DXVK_ASYNC="1"                    # Reduce shader compilation stuttering
USEGAMEMODERUN="1"                # Enable GameMode
USEMANGOHUD="1"                   # Performance monitoring
WAITEDITOR="0"                    # Skip STL popup - edit configs via Claude Code

For per-game settings (RT, DLSS, HDR, retro games), see the steam-game-setup skill: .claude/skills/steam-game-setup/SKILL.md

Best Practices

Configuration Management

  • Keep per-game docs in gaming/<game-name>/
  • Document hardware-specific settings clearly
  • Test one setting at a time when troubleshooting
  • Backup working configurations before changes

Performance Optimization

  • Start with GE-Proton for best compatibility
  • Enable GameMode for CPU scheduling
  • Use GameScope for resolution/scaling control
  • Monitor GPU usage with MangoHUD

Troubleshooting Approach

  1. Verify base Proton compatibility
  2. Test without STL modifications first
  3. Add settings incrementally
  4. Document working combinations
  5. Check hardware-specific requirements

DRM-Free Game Archives

Backup archives of DRM-free Steam games stored on TrueNAS at /mnt/truenas/media/Games/. Each game has its own subdirectory with a .tar.zst archive and README.md.
