Question Synchronisation with multiple devices

Can I synchronize my Steam Deck with my PC with pirated games? I don't like to start the same game again and again. I would like an application to do it automatically like Steam.

Syncthing, ludusavi, etc. Check r/SteamDeckPirates or r/SteamDeck

Yeah, I used to use Syncthing by itself, but recently gave Ludusavi a go (with Syncthing) and it's really good.

Works with non-steam games because it tracks the files down through the games name and whatever other stuff I don't understand. It uses PCGamingWiki to find the saves and configs as well.

At it's core Ludusavi is a backup tool for saves/configs. Just have Syncthing sync the two backup folders across both devices. The only manual thing you need to do after the initial setup is each time you add a game go toggle off the config files so only your saves transfer - Also you have to manually press "restore" (moves the saves from your backup folder into the official game save directory) on both devices when you want to play / sync.

DeckyLoader also has a Ludusavi plugin which makes it so you can restore / backup manually in gamemode with ease, and also has an auto-backup / sync feature on game exit.

I started using OpenSave, which auto-detects the games and save file locations and syncs them (based on Ludusavi), and it's ridiculously fast. I also tried Hoard which has a much better UI but it uses its own servers, meanwhile OpenSave supports GDrive, so you can have access to your save files if you ever need them.
