Description

@bearney74

from the Getting_the_Games_files.md file, it says:

'''
The Problem: Steam Does Not Offer a macOS / Linux Download
The original game is a Windows-only title on Steam. If you open Steam on macOS or Linux, the Install button will not appear. You need to obtain the Windows game files through one of the methods below and then copy them to your system.
'''
I am not sure this is right, or maybe I am misunderstanding the documentation. Generals (and zero hour) can be played on linux under steam. The data files are located at ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/x where x is the name of the game. I just copied the x directory to ~/GeneralsX and changed the name to GeneralsZH for Generals zero hour and it appears to work just fine with the flakpak file you generate.
