I’m rather new to the Linux ecosystem on my private desktop and with the new update for Stardew Valley, I installed the native version of the game via the provided .sh script. However, as bugfixes are already announced, I’m considering what to do when these updates hit the store.

For the Windows version, there are multiple patch installers. Linux only gets the newest .sh file.

So my question is: When such a game has an update, how do I install this update? Do I just execute the new .sh file and install in the same location? Or do I need to remove my existing installation and do it fresh from groundup?
