ProtonUpdater VS ArchInstallScriptExample

As you can see I manually installed the most recent Proton version 7.20. First I tried version 7.17 without success. So make sure to install the newest. If you don't know how to do that just use this simple script: https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater.

I've also written a script that installs/updates ProtonGE for you in the past, which was my first real attempt at learning bashscripting and even got semi popular. I've had several plans to implement in a newer version (and even implemented a few) but I never got around to it. Lately I've been thinking about picking it up again tho.

You can do it manually but I just find it easier to use a script like this which automatically installs the latest proton ge. Run it and it will automatically install the latest proton ge as an option in steam https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater

There is already scripts like that; - https://github.com/Termuellinator/Proton-Community-Updater - https://github.com/flubberding/ProtonUpdater

Im pretty new to linux, but ive tried digging around for this but couldnt find an answer unless i was the one creating forks etc. But im looking into if its possible to have a system setup to be notified when an update from a package i installed( lets say ProtonGE from Glorious) to inform me an update has been released and then download it. I do see the Protonupdater from Flubberding, but would need to be ran everytime to check for updates. Would there be an easy method i can use to do this, or just stick with checking protonupdater manually ?

Cproton, which is a script that downloads the latest version of a fork of Proton from github, extracts it into the right directory and restarts Steam if the user wishes so. FYI: Proton is (a package of) software by Valve that's build into Steam that enables you to run most Windows games on Linux. It combines Wine, DXVK and some other technologies. This fork is a popular enhanced version by a Redhat employee that's more up-to-date and has some extra fixes. Normally you'd have to go to Github, download the latest version from the page and manually extract it into the right folder.

Updater scripts are great for proton ge Hereis a nice one.

I'm writing a script right now that allows me to download all of my favorite/needed packages in one go. It's also going to tweak some settings. I'm combining this script with my dotfiles (configs) that are on Github in a private repository. By combining those dotfiles on Github with GNU Stow, I can sync all of my settings of any of my programs on all my systems. And when I need to reinstall for whatever reason, I can install and configure everything I need by running one script (and maybe a few commands). Here is an example of my Installscript (for Arch). It's not the way I want it to be at this point, but this repo serves as an example. One of many tutorials to using Git+GNU Stow for managing/syncing your dotfiles can be found here.
