ProtonUp-Qt VS LibreGaming

Lutris is a launcher for applications that run on Linux, that's the most comprehensive answer. It is highly configurable and supports scripting. Probably the most common use is launching non-steam Windows games with Wine and DXVK/VKD3D (I recommend a tool called ProtonUp-Qt for managing versions of this software). However, it can be configured to launch just about anything, including native Linux executables etc. Many popular titles will have scripts that automate the installation and setup, making them plug and play (if the script is good, that is). But everything the script does can be done manually too.

Try Installing proton up qt (haven’t tried it yet, I have the same issues as you). You can find it here (use dxvk): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

Easiest way is to ise ProtonUp-Qt: https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt

Install ProtonUp-Qt from the Discover store and open it

/// protonGE downloader ensures you have the latest version

In the discover store you can find https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/ that will download the latest.

Try installing it through Steam instead of using Wine directly. Mine is currently set to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and GE-Proton7-41, so try installing that one if none of the Proton versions that come with the Steam client works. Installing a custom version of Proton is fairly simple if you know the command line, basically just unpack it into the right folder. But if you prefer graphical tools you can use ProtonUp-Qt instead.

I'd try that since it's something you haven't tried at least. Check the first comment - all you have to do is install protonUp-Qt and then launch it. Use protonup to install Proton GE 7-55. Then, when you go to steam (might require a restart, don't remember) in the compatibility settings for the game you can set it to the Proton GE version.

Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

I always use this project to get everything set up for gaming - https://github.com/Ahmed-Al-Balochi/LibreGaming. A quick word of advice, I would recommend using the python option (sudo python3 setup.py install --user), then I would launch Steam, set up all the lirbaries and using proton, etc, then shut it down and run Libregaming -p to install the latest version of Glorious Eggroll's Proton.

You can even make it a lot easier using something like LibreGaming, I've used it before and it's pretty good, makes installing those tools very simple.

Make sure you've removed all amd packages. I believe some can cause issues. Make sure you have any dependencies you might need. This script can help with that. Don't forget 32 bit Nvidia packages. You could also try the Steam flatpak which should come with all the needed dependencies.

Check out LibreGaming to download any dependencies that may be missing, I'm not quite sure whats causing the crash.

I use the LibreGaming script on Github to install everything I need (WINE Staging, Steam, Lutris etc) and games work very well, whether using WINE?Proton or native Linux titles

Also i used ProtonGE using this "https://github.com/Ahmed-Al-Balochi/LibreGaming" and this "https://www.reddit.com/r/wine\_gaming/comments/no5l54/method\_to\_use\_protonge\_with\_lutris/"

Well you should by letting manjaro be installed on the ssd alongside windows ther is a option in the installer . I would prefer swap to file rather than a partition . About apps I would recomend installing the proprietary drivers from manjaro settings. And install some thing like libregaming to install required packages.( I havent personally used it as it is a new project but there are many youtubers covering it on there channel so i asume it would be fine ) . About the virus it depends from where you install it as it can run under wine but its not that big of an issue as for moat people the games they require are either in steam or available on lutris which both are highly popular and repiluted platform to download games for linux.
