Hey everyone! I recently got a Steam Deck, and it's been my first experience with Linux. I'm learning a ton and even considering making the switch to a Linux PC. However, I've run into a bit of an issue. I downloaded a visual novel game that runs on HTML, but when I try to open it, the images from the game folder aren't showing up at all, regardless of whether I use Firefox or Chrome. I did some searching online and found a similar question, but it didn't lead to any answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to open the HTML file using a text editor to check the image file paths. Look for something like `
`. Are the paths correct and do they point to valid files? Remember, Linux is case-sensitive, so 'images' and 'Images' would be considered different directories. Also, the backslash `` won't work in Linux paths—you're going to need to change that!
It sounds like a tricky situation! Without knowing more about the game or seeing the source code, it's hard to pinpoint the issue. Do you know if the game works in browsers on Windows? If it does, the problem might be due to obsolete plugins like Flash or Java that are no longer supported in most browsers nowadays. If that's the case, we might need to look for workarounds!
Yes, it works just fine on Windows, but the issue only seems to be with the images not showing up. If outdated plugins are the problem, is there a way to resolve that?
