roberta VS protonup

You should probably use Protonup-QT to install Roberta, it'll be like a selectable proton version in steam but instead it's using native scummVM. Not sure about cloud saves though unfortunately.

Roberta (Runs the native Linux verison of ScummVM)

But, I can see the logic in starting off as a compatibility layer for Windows designed applications and start out as a simplified product line and go from there, the full on steam machines was a barge in, but Proton and the Steam Deck is more of a foot in the door, not even that, because I think that proverb is still a metaphor of an unwelcome entrance, but I can't think of a welcoming analog. I think it needs to be a transitional thing and instead of game devs targeting windows, I think they should target an ABI abstraction The developers of Zork instead of reprogramming it for every CPU, they just reprogrammed it for an abstraction and ported the abstraction and that's why you can be eaten by a Grue in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Roberta is compatible with too many 80's and 90's games to mention and ScummVM has exceeded the scope of just adventure games. Said abstraction compatibility would also make x86 less relevant.

Have you tried Roberta?

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

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
