Closes #35

/home is a symlink to /var/home on OSTree/atomic distros (Bazzite,
Anatase). Steam's sandboxed runtime (pressure-vessel) does not follow
that symlink, so a shortcut written under /home/user/... fails to
launch: the Steam client logs chdir "/home/user/..." failed, errno 2
and the game never starts, even though the path resolves fine outside
the sandbox.

Closes #35
