I used to play osu on Linux with wine. I recently checked out osu!Lazer which runs natively on Linux. That's fine until you realize that the 'import beatmaps from stable' feature doesn't work on Linux.

I didn't want to use the beatmap editor and export beatmaps one by one. So, I searched for a bit for an alternative. I figured out how to compress beatmaps and skins back to .osz and .osk files. From there, I can just pass these files to osu!Lazer and start playing.

Since I was writing a reusable python script, I thought I might as well share the project in case anyone else needs it.

Alternatively, you can create symlinks between your wine osu folder and ~/.osu folder, and import feature in lazer will works.

It will save space by not duplicating files, but I'm thinking filesystems with dedup might do something like this automatically.

Imo I'm not sure if that's worthwhile to gamble with unless you have a large osu! library.
