# Description

Wrapper for comfortably using Playkey cloud gaming platform under Linux

# Problem statement

Main problems of running Playkey Launcher on Linux:

1. Playkey site requires browser User-Agent to be Windows or Mac OS

> Solved by using chrome extension to send Windows User-Agent

2. Playkey site passes arguments to the Playkey Launcher by using xdg-open link,
which is only supported by chromium or google-chrome

> Solved by using chromium browser in the package

3. The `xdg-open` program doesn't support link fromat provided by Playkey site,
or Playkey Launcher isn't configured as a link handler of format `playkey://*`

> Solved with custom python script that parses link and calls Playkey launcher
> with parsed arguments. That script then is added to the PATH variable when
> chromium is started.
