ffupdate VS ProtonUpdater

You by no means have to use the snap. I use a shellscript: https://github.com/charmparticle/ffupdate

I prefer to just use ffupdate and tbupdate. Firefox releases binary compatible browsers for linux, why not take advantage of it?

ffupdate is a script which will update firefox, either vanilla, beta, nightly, or devedition. I made this because debian does not provide the latest firefox, and downloading and installing firefox by hand, while better than compiling from source, is tedious. This script automates the whole process of installing and updating firefox, and it can also install and update thunderbird. I have since learned that lots of other people wrote scripts to accomplish the same thing, so my scripts get lost in the shuffle in github.

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.
