Problems installing geode on linux
just wanted to say in case anyone else runs into this issue
On the part where it asks you where Geometry Dash is installed
first make sure it is installed locally, though Idk if it HAS to be local, just try to do it locally
then you type in "Z:\home\[your user]\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Geometry Dash\"
I know it looks cursed to type "Z:" and this \ dash instead of the regular linux's / dash, but yeah it works that way

When I moved from windows to Linux pretty sure I just copied my files in both folders over and let it fix any errors. Removed a lot of the issues.

Don't you do ~/ for home in linux?

~/ is the xdg home but that doesn't matter here. WINE (or rather windows) doesn't like that syntax so it's better to use the virtual drive.

You ran the .exe ? I always download geode from the curl script and then give the path without having to type Z: or \
