protonup VS Bottles

For arch based distros it's in the AUR, but I also remember using some script to update it. It might have been protonup from the command line, or some bash script I had.

Adding stuff to the steam directory should not crash your system, wonder if you have some other problems. Anyway protonup is a nice little program to download GE if you are interested.

I compiled and download ProtonUp and I can't get the program to work properly. The exact issue I am facing is described here: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup/issues/25

ProtonUp is your friend: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup

Also, I highly recommend to get Proton GE, it runs even better than the Steam versions of Proton. I’ve installed it using protonup, which makes it super convenient to update!

For proton games, use proton-ge. It's installable manually, but its more convenient to use protonup and come back when it's done. For non-proton games, the proton-ge dev makes wine-ge, which you can use as a wineprefix that has patches preinstalled for a bunch of games.

Found the updater protonUP, but I’m not a huge fan of pip so idk if I’ll mess with it

Yup, it’s just a problem with steam not being able to ship Microsoft’s video format in their version of proton. It is very easy to install proton GE with protonup

Is it this issue? This is for Bottles but I think the problem is the same. See the referenced issue in that one for a solution.

Seems to be a well known bug: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2725

As long as it's compatible with Wine, it will run. You can use Bottles to manage it. Also Autodesk Maya has a Linux version.

Bottles and distrobox should have you covered.
