From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Great. Note looks like you are not familiar with GE? The installation is simple, just download the archive and unpack it under .local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d (or where your Steam is installed), so that you get something like .local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton11-6-x86_64. Just unpacking the archive basically installs it. Restarting Steam is enough. There are tools that manage these custom Proton versions. I leave you a few relevant links:

Proton GE: https://github.com/gloriouseggroll/proton-ge-custom
Proton GE downloads: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
ProtonUp (to manage Proton versions and Proton GE): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

It has additional fixes to Proton and is often more up to date. Some launchers such as Heroic Launcher I think integrate it too, so its usable outside Steam. I linked a gui tool to manage that, but you don't need a manager if you simply download and unpack the archive yourself.

Edit: And no I am not an Ai, lol I just noticed my reply sounded a bit robotic.

Thanks for links nd tips. I only tried Lutris, Bottles and the hardcore manual prefix management so far (cli + winetricks). I surprisingly struggle with anything except manual management. I guess I just like the CLI the most.

Don't worry about sounding like AI. Some of my replies sound like poorly rewritten GPT answers.
