dotfiles VS ProtonUpdater

I have done it through a systemd user timer+service unit, where the service runs the command and the timer activates the service at the right times.

I have something like that in my setup for redirecting twitter to nitter. Notice it is a javascript-based greasemonkey userscript which qutebrowser injects on webpages, so it goes in a different folder in the same place as the userscripts folder, just named greasemonkey. The difference is that qutebrowser userscripts are more like custom scripts or programs you can call from qutebrowser using :spawn and similar commands.

From my dotfiles ~/bin, I have a few that I use more than once every day:

I have something like that setup for twitter->nitter, just change them to youtube and invidious in both the greasemonkey script metadata and the code itself.

Now, to answer you question, I made this greasemonkey script that does something similar with twitter converting them to nitter links any time the page starts loading, just change the @match rules to www.reddit.com urls and change the parameters in the replace() to where you want to redirect, and drop it in your greasemonkey script directory.

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.
